Groundwater recharge is difficult to measure and the role of macropores is not well-understood. We are exploring use of geophysical techniques to map infiltration in natural settings at the NSF-funded Critical Zone Observatories (CZOs) and Critical Zone Network Philadelphia Urban site.<\/p>\n

RECENT FUNDING: National Science Foundation, Urban Critical Zone processes along the Piedmont-Coastal Plain transition. 2020-2025<\/p>\n

PAST FUNDING:\u00a0\u00a0 We received subcontracts and seed grants from Penn State University to work on their National Science Foundation-funded CZO. We also were granted access to the Christiana River CZO to conduct studies on their site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
