Describe how groundwater flow and storage are impacted by geology. Audience: Both Grad & Undergrad 2. Collect high-quality data in the field and laboratory to quantify hydrogeologic processes and properties. Audience: Both Grad & Undergrad 3. Integrate data from wells, field reports and surficial data to create reasonable conceptual models of aquifers and surface water / groundwater interactions. Audience: Both Grad & Undergrad 4. Implement appropriate quantitative analyses to characterize aquifer properties based on aquifer tests. Audience: Both Grad & Undergrad 5. Apply numerical simulations and assess the output of these simulations in terms of their hydrologic meaning and predictions. Audience: Both Grad & Undergrad 6. Critique news and technical reports related to groundwater science using hydrogeologic principles. Audience: Graduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
