Hydrogeology at the University of Kansas is
listed among the top programs in
The United States by the National Ground Water Association
(NGWA top programs).
Here are some of the reasons why:
|
Breadth of research. Our expertise and research projects range from aquifer
characterization to carbon
sequestration, from groundwater remediation to metals in lake sediments
|
|
Wide ranging faculty expertise. Our faculty have expertise in such topics
as water resource evaluation, contaminant hydrogeology, carbon sequestration, aqueous geochemistry, environmental geophysics,
groundwater remediation, biodegradation of organics and geobiology of metals, and groundwater modeling.
|
|
Strong links with complementary researchers. The hydrogeology program in the Department
of Geology is allied with the hydrogeologists and other groundwater specialists at the
Kansas Geological Survey (KGS). We also have
collaborations nationally and internationally with leading researchers in Canada, China, Australia,
and Europe
|
|
A variety of courses covering all aspects of hydrogeology. We offer courses
ranging from classical, physical hydrogeology to contaminant transport, aspects of geomicrobiology, environmental
geophysics, and geochemistry including specialized topics in spectroscopy
