The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences is purchasing a side-scan sonar/subbottom profiling system for fluvial, lake, estuarine and Long Island Sound field studies in introductory and upper-division courses, as well as undergraduate research. The coupling of this new system with existing marine equipment is enabling students to study fundamental sedimentologic, geomorphic, and oceanographic principles, as well as gain experience in modern methods of data acquisition and image interpretation. Students, through their courses and research, are making a major contribution to the database on Connecticut's rivers, lakes, and estuaries, and on Long Island Sound.

地球与环境科学系正在购买侧扫声纳/海底剖面系统，用于入门和高级课程以及本科生研究中的河流、湖泊、河口和长岛海峡实地研究。 该新系统与现有海洋设备的结合使学生能够学习基本的沉积学、地貌和海洋学原理，并获得现代数据采集和图像解释方法的经验。 学生们通过他们的课程和研究，为康涅狄格州河流、湖泊、河口以及长岛海峡的数据库做出了重大贡献。
