In Memoriam: J. Philip Keillor

In honor of Phil Keillor, outstanding engineer and beloved colleague, we highlight some of his published works available from Wisconsin’s Water Library. Phil was a great friend and co-worker at Wisconsin Sea Grant, serving as our coastal engineering specialist for nearly 30 years. In his “retirement” since 2003, Phil remained active in many scientific activities including Great Lakes climate change outreach and service to the Great Lakes Observing System board. He will be truly missed.
