Research Team Measures Physical, Chemical and Biological Activity in Lake Michigan The waters of Lake Michigan just off the Wisconsin coast near Milwaukee are a busy place. In addition to commercial boat traffic and recreational usage, important activity is happening in the water at a microscopic level we can't see and usually don't think about. Oceanographers Russell Cuhel, J. Val Klump and Carmen Aguilar, however, are very interested in what goes on in those waters. This particular stretch of the lake is important to them because of the kinds of physical, biological and chemical activity that happens there due to runoff, pollution, and treated sewage coming into the lake from nearby urban Milwaukee. These inputs, together with other variables like light and temperature levels, influence the physical, chemical and biological interactions that take place in that water. |
