Teaching and Research Field Equipment
Geography students have access to advanced field equipment for terrestrial and aquatic field mapping as well as obtaining soil and water samples. Students gain hands-on experience using the field equipment in physical geography and earth science courses, as well as in undergraduate research. Additional field equipment is available through collaborators in the UWL River Studies Center and the UWL Archaeological Studies Program.
If you have any questions about use of the field equipment, please contact Dr. Colin Belby or Dr. Joan Bunbury.
