Facilities

The emphasis upon laboratory and field studies requires sensitive analytical instrumentation for aquatic and atmospheric measurements. As a result, the laboratories are equipped for physical, chemical, and microbiological characterization of atmospheric and aquatic environments.

To enhance field study activities, boats outfitted for limnological and water quality studies, a mobile air-monitoring trailer, and a variety of portable water- and air-sampling systems are available.

Specific instrumentation includes:

• a number of state-of-the-art gas chromatographs and data systems
  
• Perkin-Elmer and Varian atomic absorption spectrometers
  
• Perkin-Elmer and Varian high pressure liquid chromatographs
  
• Rosemount and Shimadzu total organic carbon analyzers
  
• an ion coupled argon plasma spectrometer, walk-in environmental chambers
  
• a photochemical smog chamber
  
• a complete atmospheric tracer gas sampling and analysis system
  
• an air-monitoring package for aircraft studies
  
• a portable Tethersonde system
  
• instrumented meteorological towers
  
• a mini-sodar
• complete aerosol and particulate sampling and analysis systems

The development of a nationally recognized program in regional air quality modeling has included acquisition of significant computer facilities within the environmental area. These include a 28 processor Linux cluster and ES40 Alpha workstation for high performance computer simulations, several terabyte RAID disk drive systems for data storage, and multiple pc and unix workstations for student research use. The department also maintains a variety of computer data acquisition systems for field and laboratory research studies.

The Owen Science and Engineering Library is located two blocks from the department. The library system at WSU maintains a completely computerized reference system for easy access to all library acquisitions from any terminal on campus. As repository to more than 3.5 million items, the WSU library system is an integral part of the educational resources at WSU.

The Environmental Engineering Section has over 12,000 square feet of laboratory space in Albrook Hydraulics Laboratory, Dana and Sloan halls.
