CZO REUs and RETs present research at 2014 CUAHSI Biennial Meeting
26 Aug 2014
The Critical Zone Observatory Research Experience for Undergraduates and Research Experience for Teachers program participants traveled to Shepherdstown, West Virginia to present their research at the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) Biennial Meeting.
