Over 2.5 weeks I had the opportunity to learn a variety of hydro-geochemical techniques and apply them in the field. During the first week I learned how to

Use:

• Advanced Doppler Velocimeter (ADV)

• Electrical Resistivity Surveys (ER)

• Pressure, Temperature, and Conductivity Transducers (PTC)

Perform:

• Slug Tests

• Pump Tests

• Infiltration Tests (Guelph and Double Ring)

• Titrations

• Proper Groundwater Sampling

Create:

• Water table maps

• Borehole Logs

All of this knowledge was applied during our second week when we went to the Valles Caldera in New Mexico. Over the course of 8 days we traveled throughout the caldera collecting data that we processed that night. This data was then synthesized into a report on the hydrology of the area linked below.
