Notice

• Please note that, as of May 27, 2001, I will no longer serve on the UW CEE faculty. I have left UW-Madison for a career in private consulting. I am pursuing environmental engineering projects in the U.S. dealing with contaminated sediments, reactive barriers, environmental modeling and pollution control. You may contact me at 608-661-0678, or at "eykholt@mac.com".
