Abstract:
This research is particularly important to us since geology is not part of the Arkansas high school curriculum. We do this project to learn more about our environment and to explore applied solutions to issues facing our region, state and nation. Our research activities expose us to the possibilities of geoscience-related careers. We use stream segment surveys as we sample surface features within these watersheds. Our data is combined with other available data sets, to include the University of Arkansas Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) GIS Wetland Analyses and Arkansas Watershed Information System, United States Geological Survey Water Watch Stream Gauging Program, National Water-Quality Assessment Program, and National Water Information System for groundwater. Additionally, we study groundwater and ecosystems first hand within a karst cave system.
