Harbor Habitat Milwaukee Wisconsin
The center of a vibrant downtown and a commercial shipping hub, the Milwaukee Harbor teems with underwater activity in pockets of habitat full of aquatic life. But look on any map and the harbor is just a blue-black void. The map on this page fills in that gap and invites you to explore the complexity of this remarkable urban ecosystem.

Monitoring Stormwater and Green Infrastructure (Gary City Hall, Ind.)
Monitoring Stormwater and Green Infrastructure (Gary City Hall, Ind.)This time-lapse video shows the construction of the new Gary City Hall parking lot and rain garden in Gary, Indiana. The City of Gary is utilizing green infrastructure in their redevelopment projects in the hopes of reducing the amount stormwater runoff that enters their storm-sewer system and, eventually, Lake Michigan.

Edge-of-Field Monitoring Using Depth-Integrated Sample Arm (DISA)
Edge-of-Field Monitoring Using Depth-Integrated Sample Arm (DISA)During edge-of-field monitoring of an agricultural field runoff event, a depth-integrated sample arm (DISA) is used to take a water sample at the same time a traditional water sample is taken from an intake located at the bottom of the H-flume exit, where the water is assumed to be completely mixed.
