Project Team: Robert Timlin; Dr. F.A. Michel;

Objective(s): To investigate the hydrology, hydrogeochemistry and geology of the region; to determine the cause and extent of carbon dioxide rich springs in the Flat River Valley region; to determine if a fault exists in the valley and if the springs delineate an active seismic zone;

Project Description: The team will investigate the hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry and geology of the region and attempt to determine the cause and extent of carbon dioxide rich springs in the Flat River Valley region. They will also determine if a fault exists in the valley and if the springs delineate an active seismic zone.
