Great lakes waterfowl die-offs: Finding the source

A deadly menace stalks the loons, gulls and other water birds of the Great Lakes region: Type E botulism. Cases of the disease are on the rise, and to understand die-off origin and distribution, ocean engineers from Florida Atlantic University are using their expertise in experimental hydrodynamics. They have teamed with the US Geological Survey to help develop a novel way of tracking waterfowl carcasses to determine the source of lethal outbreaks.
