Communicating the State of Indiana water
Water resources are sources of water that are of sufficient quality to meet human needs, when and where they are needed.
Effects of Land Use Type on Abundance and Type of Microplastic Pollution—a Contaminant of Emerging Concern in Indiana Rivers
Water quality degradation resulting from human activities represents a threat to environmental and human health.
Examining Anthropogenic Impacts on the Wabash River System
The Wabash River is a large meandering stream that stretches 471 miles from Ohio through Indiana, where it ultimately joins the Ohio River.
Evaluation of sub-lethal effects of neurodegenerative cyanotoxins on predator-prey interactions in a freshwater fish
Cyanobacteria are prevalent blue-green algae that impact Midwestern freshwater systems, important environmental and economic resources.
Estimating watershed residence times in artificially-drained landscapes and relation to nutrient concentrations.
Nutrient runoff from agricultural lands leads to Harmful Algae Blooms and eutrophication in freshwater ecosystems including the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico.
Using Sedimentary Lipid Biomarkers to Track Historical Changes to Lake Michigan
Freshwater aquatic communities of Lake Michigan are faced with a wide array of environmental stressors that are likely to increase in the coming century, including invasive species, nutrient loading, and climate change.
Effectiveness of wetland restoration in mitigating extreme streamflows under future climate change in the White River watershed of Indiana
Climate change directly affects the availability of water resources in the US Midwest, including Indiana.
Characterizing aquifer geometries in Northern Indiana by profiling the buried bedrock surface with geophysical techniques
Groundwater resource assessments in glaciated regions require buried bedrock elevation data to provide information related to aquifer geometry and to determine water-resource availability.
Creating a High Resolution Hydrologic Model for Simulating and Forecasting Floods in the Wabash River Basin
Indiana experiences major floods in different parts of the state almost every year from both excessive rain and rapid snowmelt.
Impacts of urban ecosystem services on human health and water quantity and quality in Northwestern Indiana communities: An unexplored opportunity to study service accessibility
Ecosystem services include benefits from the goods and services that humans obtain from nature.
