The Environmental Science Adventure

Environmental Scientists are doing some amazing things. As an environmental scientist, what would you do?

		Water Quality Monitoring See EnSci students monitoring water for wetlands designed to improve water quality. Water links so many parts of our environment. Of course all living things need it, but it is also the big 'mover & shaker' that transports a lot. The hydrologic cycle is the fundamental driver to many environmental processes.

		Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Almost every aspect of Environmental Science has a spatial component. From movement of contaminants to landscape properties, GIS is helping us understand our environment better. Take a look at one example of how GIS is advancing Environmental Science.

Dr. Simpkins's research focuses on the geology and groundwater hydrology impacting water resources.
