A multidisciplinary team of researchers in the Statler College have been conducting stream monitoring and watershed assessment to evaluate anthropogenic activities on aquatic ecosystems. Applications range from analyzing chemical spills, the impact of fecal contamination on surface water quality through microbial source tracking, and monitoring waterways affected by acid mine drainage.
