Environmental/Water Resources


tower A team of UW Civil Engineering graduate students install a eddy-correlation flux tower at the foot of the Big Horn mountains as part of a study to develop an improved groundwater recharge estimation strategy for Wyoming's coal bed methane basins (P.I. Fred Ogden). student M.S. student measures changes in flow velocity and water depth to identify the effectiveness of dilute polyacrylamide as a canal sealant (P.I. Mike Urynowicz).
ice measurement A team of U.W. researchers from the Departments of Civil & Architectural Engineering and Geology perform ground penetrating radar measurements of ice thickness on the Dinwoody Glacier in Wyoming (P.I. Glenn Tootle). tree core M.S. student cores an old growth tree in the Wind River range of Wyoming as part of a paleohydrologic study aimed at determining the history and future for Wyoming's glaciers (P.I. Glenn Tootle).
flocculation unit Student adjusting the flocculation unit of the 5 gpm pilot scale treatment plant used to simulate water treatment processes. survey Students surveying Big Laramie River channel geometry as part of stream bank stabilization monitoring and assessment activities

Research Projects:

pressure Student pressure testing hollow fiber membrane modules in water. Ted's MS thesis research involves characterizing dissolved gases and water vapor transfer through membranes under high hydrostatic pressures.
