Description

The Clemson Hydrogeology Field Camp is a capstone experience for undergraduate degrees in Geology and graduate students in Hydrogeology or Engineering. The camp is designed to give the student a working knowledge of the methods and concepts of field hydrogeology, and to provide the opportunity to use those methods in several hydrogeologic settings. Topics include spatial mapping, well drilling, water quality and sampling, well testing, soil properties, air flow through the vadose zone, hydraulic fracturing, and near surface geophysical methods.

Other Important Information

4 weeks of the 5 week camp are spent doing projects in a variety of field sites and field trips in the Clemson area. 1 week is spent traveling to Great Smokey Mountains and Mammoth Caves National Parks to observed different hydrogeologic settings.

Students have the option to attend this camp in-person or virtually via interactive live-streaming of in-person field exercises. As such, we can also accommodate student needs to attend virtually for some period at the beginning of camp and then transition to in person (e.g. if camp starts before you are finished with final exams at your home institution).
