Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Fisch is a Water Resources Modeler with 13 years of experience applying GIS, statistical modeling, and custom tools to diagnose and improve watershed and fisheries health across Wisconsin. He combines an academic grounding in cartography and environmental science with practical impact—leading TMDLs for major basins, co-developing decision tools like EVAAL and Water Explorer, and building the WHDPlus hydrography database. Aaron’s work spans sediment and phosphorus source attribution, site-specific phosphorus criteria, and oxythermal protections for coldwater fish, reflecting a rare blend of spatial modeling and policy-facing deliverables. Comfortable coding in R, Python, and ArcGIS/ArcPro workflows, he has moved climate and ecological data from complex NetCDF/HDF inputs into actionable conservation priorities. Based in Milwaukee, he leverages deep regional knowledge to translate large-scale spatiotemporal analyses into targeted, implementable practices for improving water quality.
