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, airflow through the vadose zone, hydraulic fracturing, and near-surface geophysical methods. There are field trips that visit different hydrogeologic settings including the Mammoth Cave area in Kentucky, the Smoky Mountains, and the Blue Ridge and Piedmont regions near Clemson.
