Development of an Undergraduate Laboratory for the Hydrologic Sciences at the University of Notre Dame

一个独特的领域和实验室设施的研究表面 地下水文地质学正在安装。 这个设施 将为学生提供观察短 和长期组成部分的水文循环， 大气、地表水和地下水的行为 环境. 包括在该设施的功能中 有：（1）钻探、探测和测试地下水的能力 钻孔，（2）使用联网的现场便携式计算机系统， (3)完成和解释钻孔地球物理测井， （4）遥感图像的采集与解译。 该设施将提供重要的教育机会 为修读土木工程课程的本科生而设 工程、地球科学和工程预科。

A unique field and laboratory facility for the study of surface and subsurface hydrogeology is being installed. This facility will provide students with the opportunity to observe the short and long term components of the hydrologic cycle in relation to the behavior of atmospheric, surface water and groundwater environments. Included among the capabilities of the facility are: (1) the ability to drill, case and test groundwater boreholes, (2) use of a networked field portable computer system, (3) completion and interpretation of borehole geophysical logging, and (4) collection and interpretation of remote sensing images. The facility will provide significant educational opportunities for undergraduates enrolled in courses offered in civil engineering, earth sciences and pre-engineering.
