    The Physical Hydrogeology program in the UT/Austin Department of Geological Sciences conducts research on a broad range of topics relating to groundwater flow.

     

    Ongoing research projects include:

    • Regional groundwater flow systems in Trans-Pecos Texas and in the Edwards aquifer
    • Pressure-thermal-salinity evolution of deep basins and related coastal subsidence
    • Groundwater flow in fractured media
    • The hydrogeologic properties of partially welded and densely welded tuffs
    • The role of fracture skins in contaminant transport
    • Characterizing and modeling the effects of urbanization on groundwater flow
    • Characterization of surface roughness in fractures
    • Urban hydrogeology: the effect of utility trenches on groundwater flow; urban induced recharge.

    Thinking about joining one of the premier hydrogeology research groups in the country? The following links will take you to information about our degree programs.
