Undergraduate Research on Water Quality and Resources
Session ID#: 246857
Session Description:
This session focuses on research projects from undergraduate students on water quality and resources. In order to represent the multi- and interdisciplinarity of this area, the topics of water quality and resources will be considered very broadly to encourage submissions from a wide variety of disciplines examining the chemical, physical, biological, and management aspects of both surface and groundwater resources. Dissemination of research results from undergraduate students at any institution (community colleges through tier one research institutions) are encouraged for this session. Participatory or citizen science as well as high school research projects a re also appropriate for this session. Submissions can represent original, ongoing, and completed research projects, including group projects from a classroom setting or in a research group.
