GEOL3500: Introduction to Hydrogeology

What is this CURE about: Water quality of well water in urban systems: Connections to human and environmental health.  Impacts of hydrology on plant-soil-microbe interactions. This CURE investigates the interactions between groundwater and surface water that impact the quality and sustainability of water resources.  Several sites may be studied in this CURE, including research performed at […]

BIOL4560: Microbial Ecology

Link to ECU Course Catalog What this CURE is about: Students in the interdisciplinary wetland CURE will study how hydrology and nutrient addition interact to influence plant-soil-microbial interactions. Students will examine how hydrology and nutrient enrichment directly and indirectly (via plant effects) affect wetland microbial structure-function relationships.

GEOL5710: Groundwater Hydrology

Link to ECU Course Catalog What this CURE is about: Influence of vegetation management on groundwater flow, surface water discharges, and nutrient transport at the West Research Campus.  Students collect field samples for laboratory analysis and perform in situ field tests to determine the direction and rate of groundwater flow.  Real-time sensor networks are used […]
