There are many opportunities to do research with a faculty member, and the results of the research may be presented at a local or national meeting, such as the Kentucky Academy of Science or the Geological Society of America. Current and ongoing projects include:
- Exploring karst hydrology utilizing dye tracing
- Using electrical resistivity to locate unknown sections at Mammoth Cave
- Using sequential LiDAR to monitor and catalog recently active landslides in Kenton and Campbell counties in мÓÆÂtoto¿ª½±½á¹û
- Cave Mapping at Carter Caves, KY
- Geophysical surveying of landslides in мÓÆÂtoto¿ª½±½á¹û
- Application of spectral reflectance methods to monitor the water quality of aquatic ecosystems
- Multi-proxy monitoring of paleolake productivity
- Monitoring the water quality of karst springs in Northern and Northeastern Kentucky
