We try to understand the role of ground-water in the hydrologic cycle by integrating measurement and simulation. This work is carried out in the field, the laboratory, and on computers. The Hydrogeology Program at CSULB is supported by the Bert and Ethel Conrey Endowment.
(29 Oct 2009) Matt Becker and George Tsoflias (Univ of Kansas) wereawarded $435k from the Geothermal Technologies Program at the U.S. Department of Energy. The awards were made as part of a $338M Federal TARP program investment in Enhanced Geothermal Systems.
(28 Aug 2009) Three new wells have been drilled on campus at Hard Fact Hill to support hydrogeology instruction. Drilling was generously donated by BC2 Environmental and supplies by Boart Longyear. Students stopped by to watch the drilling and see how a geologist logs a well. Look forward to some these wells in Hydrology, Hydrogeology, and Contaminant Hydrogeology!
(20 Jan, 2009) Matt Becker and George Tsoflias (Univ of Kansas) were awarded a grant from the Department of Energy's Environmental Remediation Science Program (ERSP). The grant ($150k) is for flow and transport research in fractured bedrock.
