The Milwaukee River North Ave. Dam ca. 1895
Data Collection • Portable XRF • GPS (some) • Steep learning curve! • Round 1: Relied on an old Garmin GPS and measured transects • Round 2: Sub-meter GPS – aerial photo “issues”
Soil Pb Concentrations • Students “taught themselves” to use ARC map (utilizing Dave Tewksbury’s tutorial) • Lots of troubleshooting!
Continuing Work • Residential soil Pb concentrations • Milwaukee • Appleton • Introductory Level courses • Upper Level Courses • Faculty-student research
