Lab facilities

Environmental laboratory involves the analysis of air, water and soil for chemical species impacting ecological, agricultural, health and safety areas. Tests are performed for teaching students to evaluate the air and water quality, soil types, soil's nutrient potential and transport. The lab is equipped to simulate fate and transport of dissolved and nano- & micro-size contaminants through the development of understanding of natural hydrogeological systems. Key research areas include soil, water, and gas contamination, flowing fluid electrical conductivity logging, capacity of subsurface water resources, top soil & nutrient losses, etc.

We offer state-of-the-art environmental modelling and software tools as the basis for an ecosystem approach to environmental management and ecosystem scale management to address specific environmental challenges. It is possible to address a broad range of research questions using qualitative and quantitative tools with a combination of theoretical modelling, statistical modelling, laboratory experiments, and fieldwork in the research activities. We apply various environmental models to complex data sets collected through field studies and large-scale databases which are then tested for reliable predictions of ecological and environmental impacts to assess measures and prioritize investments to decision making and policy framing.
