Hydro

The hydrogeology field camp explored the alluvial and karst hydrogeologic settings of Austin, Texas, and Tulum, Mexico. In Tulum, the students mapped the water table of a barrier island in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve and gathered water samples from nearby cenotes (sinkholes), guided by volunteer divers.
