Phosphorus and water quality of the Yahara Lakes
Phosphorus runoff causes algae blooms and other harmful changes in the Yahara lakes (Mendota, Monona, Waubesa, Kegonsa and Wingra near Madison, Wis.). My research maintains phosphorus databases and models that are used to understand and manage water quality of the Yahara lakes.
