Ecohydrology Laboratory

General Info

Service/Purpose

The Ecohydrology laboratories occupy over 300 m2 of space dedicated for generation and collection of baseline and time-sensitive data to support modeling, biogeochemical experimentation, field sampling and environmental analysis. The data allow us to investigate processes across a wide variety of spatio-temporal scales, from molecular interactions to regional biogeochemical cycles.
