Town Creek Multidisciplinary CURE – TEaMS-UR

This multidiciplinary CURE is tackling a joint research project between multiple classes, including GEOL3500, ENVE4203, BIOL4560, and GEOL5710. The focus of the research may shift over time, but recent work has focused on understanding the impacts of a historic gasoline spill on Town Creek near the ECU campus.
