项目摘要

In 1992, this college committed itself to expanding its program in Environmental Science. In order to respond to the growing importance of the hydrological sciences, the department is now taking steps to strengthen its laboratory and field program in this area. The department has recently upgraded its capability to perform water quality measurements by obtaining equipment for sample collection, for field measurements of mainly physical parameters, and for physical models of hydrological systems for laboratory use. Specifically, the new equipment enables the Department of Environmental Science to add a lab to its current Hydrology course which will involve experiments with physical models in the laboratory and hydrological measurements in the field; introduce a stronger field component in the Introduction to Environmental Science lab; collect samples with state-of-the-art techniques for the Environmental Measurements course; and provide basic equipment for field-oriented studies leading to the senior thesis and other projects. Field studies using the new equipment may focus on local environments in the New York City metropolitan area, ranging from heavily polluted to relatively undisturbed sites (Manhattan, Long Island, Bergen County, Hackensack Meadowlands, and Hudson Highlands, in particular the Black Rock Forest Preserve). Syllabi, laboratory material, and data generated may have an immediate impact on education and research at other institutions and will be made available over the Internet.

1992年，该学院致力于扩大其环境科学项目。为了应对水文科学日益增长的重要性，该部门目前正在采取措施加强其在该领域的实验室和现场计划。该部门最近通过获取样本采集、主要物理参数的现场测量以及实验室使用的水文系统物理模型的设备，升级了其进行水质测量的能力。具体来说，新设备使环境科学系能够在其当前的水文学课程中增加一个实验室，其中将涉及实验室中的物理模型实验和现场的水文测量；在环境科学导论实验室中引入更强大的现场组成部分；使用最先进的技术为环境测量课程收集样本；并为高级论文和其他项目的实地研究提供基本设备。使用新设备的实地研究可能集中于纽约市大都市区的当地环境，从严重污染到相对未受干扰的地点（曼哈顿、长岛、卑尔根县、哈肯萨克草甸和哈德逊高地，特别是黑岩森林保护区））。教学大纲、实验室材料和生成的数据可能对其他机构的教育和研究产生直接影响，并将通过互联网提供。
