Ecology Students Study Impact of Snow

Ecology students capitalized on the recent snow storm to monitor how stream flow varies with storm melt and runoff in our outdoor classroom on the Mooreland Road campus. 
Using physics calculations, they will continue to monitor the rise and fall of water levels in our campus's forest environment. Students have come to understand through their ecology curriculum that urban streams are a vital part of supporting local wildlife and filtering runoff before water flows into the James and into the Chesapeake Bay.
