Have you seen the news about the research of our QUEST Facilitator, Professor Reed Maxwell? Maxwell's group has mapped the most detailed map of ground water in the US, which allows us to know how much is available and plan for water challenges like scarcity and contamination: https://cee.princeton.edu/news/cee-professor-reed-maxwell-interviewed-la-times-important-groundwater-study 

If you are interested in learning from innovative Princeton University professors, you can join us for an incredible week on Princeton University’s campus with Professor Reed Maxwell, Dr. Lisa Gallagher, and lead teacher, Heidi Wachtin, to explore water-related topics “Beneath the Surface”. Educators will take a deep dive into hydrology, the scientific study of water movement, distribution, and quality on Earth, through hands-on and minds-on experiences designed to build curiosity and confidence in teaching science. Together, participants will investigate the past patterns of water movement, uncover local and global water-related issues in our present day, and learn how to predict the future of water availability through models incorporating climate change impacts.
