About the lab
The Water And Terrestrial Exploration and Research Lab, led by Dr. Adam J. Pearson, is focused on understanding and researching the interactions of water, surficial deposits, and humans. The lab explores topics related to Hydrology, Hydrogeology and Geomorphology.
Current research projects are focused on using remote sensing to build an inventory of mid channel islands along streams in northern New York state, as well as measuring the geometry and upstream location of these mid channel islands. |
