Graduate students at the Mitchell Center have the opportunity to participate in many types of fieldwork. Most students travel to each others’ sites to learn sampling techniques from a variety of projects, including groundwater, precipitation, lake, stream, soil, biomass, and biological sampling. Even students who do not have field work in their own research projects have the opportunity to participate, making their policy or education degree more well-rounded. Students have benefited greatly from having this range of techniques in their repertoire, and it exemplifies the Mitchell Center’s mission to train future water resource professionals.

Additional information on field sites is available under the research section.
