Low-flying helicopters carrying strange-looking equipment will take to the air soon over 16 Southwest Michigan counties to map geology and aquifers. The helicopter survey is part of a cooperative study between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) that aims to enhance our understanding and protection of Michigan’s vast groundwater reserves.

Did you take the Hydro Field Camp at WMU (or another hydro-focused field camp in the U.S. or Canada)?
A group of universities and professionals is seeking feedback to see how well these field camps prepare students for today’s geoscience careers and how they can be improved.
If you’ve participated, please take 10 minutes to share your experience. Your input really matters!
Feel free to share with others who’ve done a hydro field camp!
