January 27, 2021 Students monitor an aquifer test in WMU's Asylum Lake wellfield by measuring water levels during a hydrogeology field course in 2019. KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Where is the best place to drill a well? How does water flow underground? What contaminants are in our drinking water? Heightened national interest in the environment, specifically the availability of clean water, has boosted demand for hydrogeologists who study the implications of contaminants in groundwater. As a result, the National Science Foundation is funding research at Western Michigan University to advance student learning in this field. A pair of faculty members in May will receive a nearly $150,000 grant to better understand how students use 3D spatial thinking skills to predict contamination movement unseen below the surface.
