ProjectS

List of current funded projects:

“DEVELOPING PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS (PPPS) TO TARGET LEGACY PHOSPHORUS FIELDS TO INCREASE WATER QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY” funded by the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture - AFRI Competitive Grant

Goal: To foster the development of Public-Private Partnerships so that proprietary information can be used to increase the impact of conservation practices promoted by public agencies to address water quantity and quality issues.

“HEALTHY SOILS, HEALTHY WATERS: WILL SOIL HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS MITIGATE NUTRIENT LOADING TO THE GREAT LAKES?” funded by the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture

Goal: To determine the extent to which soil health practices impact soil health and, in turn, affect nutrient losses at the field and watershed scales within the western Lake Erie basin.

“Water quality benefits of H2Ohio conservation practices in the Maumee River Watershed” funded by the State of Ohio

Goal: To provide a science-based, field-to-watershed scale, and continually improving decision support tool to control nutrient runoff from agricultural fields in the western Lake Erie basin.

“A MULTI-SCALE AND REGIONAL APPROACH TO COLD SEASON HYDROLOGY AND NUTRIENT DYNAMICS IN AGROECOSYSTEMS FOR WATER QUALITY PROTECTION” funded by the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture - AFRI Competitive Grant

Goal: To better characterize frozen and partially frozen soil hydrologic and nutrient cycling processes in order to develop evidence-based guidance for reducing nonpoint source nutrient pollution in agroecosystems.

“ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE AND PREDICTION OF PHOSPHORUS DYNAMICS IN TILE DRAINED LANDSCAPES” funded by the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture - AFRI Competitive Grant

Goal: To improve our understanding of phosphorus loss in tile drainage systems and improve tile phosphorus simulation in an existing nutrient transport model.

“Investigating the Disproportionality of Pollutant Loading based on Farmer Social Indicators” funded by the Dairy Innovation Hub

Goal: To understand how various policy implementations would affect water quality in Wisconsin watersheds.
