Dig deeper into how water works.
Water is life. Communities increasingly rely on groundwater for everything from irrigation to industrial cooling to drinking water. Groundwater hydrology experts will be fundamental for sustainable water resource management and environmental protection.
A master’s of science in groundwater hydrology is designed to deepen your understanding of the concepts and professional practices used in groundwater related roles. You’ll learn to take and understand common measurements in groundwater investigations, such as well water depth, well flow and water pH and temperature. You’ll gain proficiency in analyzing and interpreting hydrological data results. You’ll even design and compute data from groundwater tests commonly used in the field.
This graduate program prepares working professionals in geology, geological engineering, environmental science and water use planning with indispensable concepts and real-world analytical skills. Go on to locate and manage groundwater resources, develop sustainable practices, protect natural ecosystems and inform policy or planning decisions related to water use.
This graduate degree could be a good fit if you:
- Majored in geology, geological engineering, environmental science or water-use planning
- Appreciate hands-on learning and experience
- Enjoy fieldwork in a professional consulting capacity
- Value logistics and modeling for real-world scenarios
With this degree, you can become a:
- Geologist
- Environmental Scientist
- Groundwater Hydrologist
- Groundwater Specialist
