CNR's Dynamic Labs 

Research Facilities
Center for Natural Resources boasts state-of-the-art facilities, featuring:

  • 1,200 square feet of wet laboratory space with a sizeable 45-foot-long hydraulics flume

  • A laminar hood and various shakers that facilitate experiments in water chemistry and microbiology 

  • A 500-square-foot environmental fluid mechanics laboratory that houses a cutting-edge 2019 Dantec PIV (Particle Image Velocimeter) system, enabling precise measurement of water velocities at the micron scale within hydraulic setups.
