Current research is examining relationships among different parameters at the site (e.g. high acidity, sulfate concentrations, heavy metal concentrations) for possible correlations and relationships to AMD.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-recent-projects\">Other recent projects…<\/h2><p>A few examples of recent student\/faculty collaborative <strong>Environmental Science<\/strong> projects:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Study of the Macrobenthic Community of Hazel Run, Spotsylvania County,Virginia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sediment, soil, and stream water contamination at an acid-mine drainage site in Louisa County, Virginia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study of Forested Riparian Buffer for Reduction of Non-Point SourcePollution in the Rappahannock River Basin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preliminary Ecological Assessment of Massaponnax Creek, Spotsylvania County, Virginia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ecological studies within the proposed Celebrate Virginia site<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Recent examples of  independent <strong>Geology<\/strong> and <strong>Environmental Geology<\/strong> student research:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mesozoic Faulting in Culpeper, Virginia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Controls on Ion Migration in Soils<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GPS Survey of Prince William Park<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital Mapping and GIS Applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Geothermometry of Virginia Piedmont Metamorphic Rocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Urbanization and Enhanced Storm Hazards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Analysis of Metamorphic Fabrics in the Fredericksburg, Virginia Area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lithospheric Plate Velocities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Source of Arsenic Contamination in Groundwater<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantitative Evaluation of GIS Terrain Models<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Development of dolomite in arid Hawaiian soils<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Current Earth and Environmental Sciences students should contact <a href=\"http:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/ees\/faculty\/\">individual faculty members<\/a> regarding research opportunities.  Prospective students, please contact department chair <a href=\"jhayob@umw.edu\">Dr. Jodie Hayob<\/a> for more information about any of our programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More Student and Faculty ResearchMany Environmental Science and Geology students choose to work with a faculty advisor on an independent research project. The choice of topic is up to you and your advisor;
