• 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

• 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
