Microtomography (CT)

X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique for visualizing interior features within solid objects, and for obtaining digital information on their 3-D geometries and properties. 

Micromorphology

Research focuses on the description, interpretation and measurement of components, features and fabrics in soils and sediments at a microscopic level. Our instrumentation, in combination with our fieldwork, provides ample opportunity for varied grant funded research and undergraduate student learning.
