Facilities and labs

Computing Facilities

Beyond the range of specialized, dedicated research laboratories within the department, there are a number of other facilities available to researchers.

A shared wet/dirty prep lab equipped with two fume-hoods, a chemical lab, a 10-station senior undergrad/grad computer lab, a shared field equipment storage and staging area, a teaching and research equipment sign-out room, and a Wet Teaching Lab that includes a soil shaker, ovens, and a furnace.

Research equipment varies tremendously, from field equipment such as hand-held GPS units to boats and ATVs to state-of-the-art lab-based equipment such as an x-ray densitometer, electronic microscopes, an airborne hyperspectral scanner, and advanced analytical software.
