EYH 2005, March 11, at Emporia State University is history!! Thanks to all who participated, including organizers, teachers, and students. A bit of one workshop can be seen online... Dr. Schulmeister worked with Margaret Townsend from the Kansas Geological Survey to explain groundwater and drinking water contamination to participants. To see pictures of students drinking contaminated aquifers, a.k.a. milkshake contamination, visit http://hydrogeology.emporia.edu/EYH.htm!

Some of the past presentations included: Susie Aber and Margaret Landis did "Rock Sleuths," Susan Stover presented "Pollution Detectives", and Mary Daily (ESU Earth Science graduate) spoke on careers in environmental geology. Hope to see you in March 2001!
