Recent recorded grades — Fall 2023: 3.11 GPA, 57.1% A/AB (n=28 letter grades); Fall 2024: 3.41 GPA, 68.2% A/AB (n=22 letter grades); Fall 2025: 3.53 GPA, 70.6% A/AB (n=17 letter grades).
What you’ll be able to do
Describe how groundwater flow and storage are impacted by geology.
Collect high-quality data in the field and laboratory to quantify hydrogeologic processes and properties.
Integrate data from wells, field reports and surficial data to create reasonable conceptual models of aquifers and surface water / groundwater interactions.
Implement appropriate quantitative analyses to characterize aquifer properties based on aquifer tests.
Apply numerical simulations and assess the output of these simulations in terms of their hydrologic meaning and predictions.
Critique news and technical reports related to groundwater science using hydrogeologic principles.
