Thermophysical Properties of Wisconsin Rocks for Application in Geothermal Energy
(2013-05-19)Limited information exists about the geothermal gradient and heat capacity of the geologic formations in Wisconsin. The viability of deep (? 300 m) geothermal exchange systems in Wisconsin depends on the thermal properties ... -
THREE-DIMENSIONAL STABILITY ANALYSIS OF BLUFFS ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE IN EASTERN WISCONSIN
(2019)The water level in Lake Michigan has been rising since 2013. Historically, erosion of the bluffs along the shoreline has increased during times of lake level increase. Erosion begins at the bluff toe and progresses ... -
Time-Lapse Geophysics and Characterization of an Infiltration Experiment in Unsaturated Wisconsin Alluvial Sediments
(2021-08)This thesis discusses the use of field geophysics, laboratory testing, and numerical modeling to characterize the infiltration mechanisms of a plume in the vadose zone. The study of fluid flow and transport in the vadose ...
