You will have a number of problem sets during the semester that will apply principles covered in lecture and reading. Care should be taken to assure that a neat, organized, understandable, and concise product is the result of your work. Penalties will be assessed as follows for late work. You will complete a semester project that focuses on some hydrogeological topic of interest to you and discussed with me. The overall objective of the project is for you to combine many techniques of water resources investigations during an examination of a pertinent issue.
Field work is encouraged for the projects, as well as team investigations.
Completion of the semester project will include the preparation of a paper and appropriate accompanying maps, figures, and graphs. The results of your study will be presented orally to the class and Department during the final laboratory session. You will use the library, inter-library loan, and be expected to compile a significant bibliography by the end of the semester. These are general guidelines with much overlap and other areas of the stacks where hydro-related stuff is found. Try browsing the stacks.
