Geophysics researchers at MSU travel to the MADE Site in order to study its extremely complex subsurface flow patterns, employing a comprehensive selection of the most cutting-edge technology available. Using characterization techniques such as full resolution ground-penetrating radar and direct push hydraulic conductivity measurements, students are investigating the relationship between subsurface heterogeneity and contaminant transport paths. This work is being conducted along with the Kansas Geological Survey.
