"Wisconsin Karst Aquifers": In-person Badger Talk in Shullsburg, Wisconsin

Join presenter Maureen Muldoon on August 5, 2025, at 5:30 PM at the McCoy Public Library for Science Discovery on Main.

The talk provides an overview of Wisconsin geology, characteristics of karst, the basics of the water cycle and groundwater flow. We then explore why these aquifers are so vulnerable to groundwater contamination with examples from northeast and southwest Wisconsin.

Maureen started her career with the WGNHS in 1987. In 1998 she moved to UW-Oshkosh for 21 years where she was a professor of Geology. She has recently returned to the WGNHS where she conducts research that focuses on applied groundwater questions throughout Wisconsin. Her interests include investigation of groundwater quality and flow in carbonate rocks, relationship between geology and hydraulic properties, and land-use impacts on groundwater quality.
