Opportunities for collaboration exist with departmental research groups in paleoclimate and climate change, hydrogeology, sedimentary geology, geochronology, environmental health and toxicology, and data science, and with other research groups in the College of Science, the College of Architecture, Planning, and Public Affairs, and the College of Engineering.
