Professor Laura Bowling, graduate student Sanoar Rahman: Streaming an Education
For a group of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences students, Thursday afternoons constitute a total “emersion education.”
Each Thursday, the students in the environmental hydrology lab go out in nature and develop hands-on skills on hydrologic field techniques and develop knowledge of hydrologic processes by actually getting their hands and feet wet in creeks, streams and ponds around the Purdue University campus.
