Dr. Maureen Muldoon has been a professor of Geology at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh since 1998. She teaches three hydrogeology courses (Physical, Chemical and Field Methods), as well as Environmental Geology. She also teaches geology field trips to the Colorado Plateau & Yellowstone, as well as an Environmental Studies field course in Belize. Prior to joining the UW-Oshkosh faculty, Dr. Muldoon was a research hydrogeologist with the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey from 1987-1998 where she conducted groundwater research throughout Wisconsin and worked with several counties on inventories of their groundwater resources. She received both her Ph.D. (Hydrogeology, 1999) and M.S. (Pleistocene Geology & Hydrogeology, 1987) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and her bachelor’s degree (A.B. Earth & Planetary Sciences, 1983) from Washington University in St. Louis. Maureen's research focuses on applied groundwater questions throughout Wisconsin and all of her projects at UW-Oshkosh have involved undergraduate research assistants. Her research interests include investigation of groundwater quality and flow in carbonate rocks, relationship between carbonate stratigraphy and hydraulic properties, land-use impacts on groundwater quality, and delineation of wellhead protection zones in fractured rock. Her professional memberships include American Geophysical Union (AGU), Association of Ground Water Scientists and Engineers (AGWSE), WI section of the American Water Resources Association (AWRA) and Geological Society of America (GSA). In 2015, she was appointed a Fellow of GSA. Dr. Muldoon is a licensed professional geologist and hydrologist in Wisconsin and she occasionally consults on projects that address the hydrogeology of fractured carbonate aquifers.
