- Identify key parameters of turbulent flow that influence fish space use and energetic cost of swimming in complex flows found around in-stream structures
- Develop – and evaluate under realistic field conditions – a quantitative model that links key parameters of turbulent flow to energetic cost of swimming
Results
Past, present, and future impacts of weather and climate on the geology of the Illinois coast
- Develop a historical database of environmental processes and anthropogenic disturbances determined to have caused coastal geomorphic changes for Illinois Beach State Park and Waukegan Beach
- Produce list of probable future (within next 50 years) beach and dune changes for coastal managers
- Engage stakeholders in order to understand how data can be readily visualized and utilized in the planning and decision-making process
