The Physical Sciences Department has a wide selection of hydrogeological equipment, making GEL 362 labs a rich and applied experience in which students get hands on training in data collection and equipment use. 

This equipment also offers a wide range of research opportunities, including on-going investigations of hydrologic problems in the Headwaters of the Schuylkill Watershed.  The AMD impacted watershed provides a diverse and challenging field site for undergraduate researchers.  Projects in this location are combined with geophysical techniques to characterize the pathways of subsurface water flow.
