Experience: 

Graduate Research Assistant, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Wisconsin – Madison, 2010-2016
Teaching Assistant, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Wisconsin – Madison, 2013-2013
Water Supply Planning Intern, Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities, 2010

Research Interests: 

I am a civil engineer who is interested in the long-term changes and sudden shifts of the physical, chemical, and biological components of lake ecosystems to climate changes. To do this, I use a modeling approach to supplement observational data and investigate changes to possible climate perturbations. My current research goals are to determine the impact of climate changes on fish habitat and investigate possible engineered and management solutions to those changes.  

Madeline now works with Wisconsin DNR.
