 The GeoTREE Center is developing a custom GIS database for the city of Dubuque and Dubuque Soil and Water Conservation District. The database created will allow WinSLAMM modeling to be easily carried out for the Catfish Creek Watershed utilizing the ArcSLAMM toolbox developed by the GeoTREE Center. This will aid in urban stormwater management programs in the watershed. Two students are working on the project in the GeoTREE Center (Alex Newkirk and Jonathan Beavers). This project will provide relevant real world GIS experience to the students.
