Is this cemetery haunted? Probably not, but there could be tiny things moving beyond the grave. The USGS sampled groundwater downhill of Mt. Hope Cemetery in Lansing, Michigan, to find out if materials associated with decomposition and burial processes could affect groundwater quality near a cemetery.

A photograph of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) custom automated pathogen sampler (top) and schematic illustrating the remote-unattended-automated pathogen sampler (bottom). Sample collection proceeds over the course of a runoff-event or low-flow period for up to a maximum of 5 days before a site visit by personnel is needed to collect the samples.

Great Lakes tributaries deliver pathogens from many different sources. This drawing represents the various sources of these pathogens along with hydrologic, land cover, and season patterns by which they enter the Great Lakes tributaries. It references the virus sampling that took place with the backdrop based largely on the Milwaukee, WI.
