GeoTREE students Dan Murphy and Rebecca Gronewold won second place in the student poster competition at the 2013 Iowa Water Conference in Ames, IA in March 2013.

The GeoTREE Center continues research on the use of GIS and LiDAR data in concert with an urban stormwater modeling software as part of an Iowa Water Center/USGS funded project. This project focuses on more effective use of geospatial data and technologies in urban stormwater management and planning. Study sites in this research include Dry Run Creek watershed in Black Hawk County and the Catfish Creek watershed in Dubuque County. John DeGroote also presented results from this ongoing project at the conference.
