Facilities
include fully equipped research laboratories in microbiology, ecology,
hydrology, and chemistry. Field ecology research augments
lab facilities with field-specific equipment, including two boats (14-
and 25-foot) and vans with towing capacity. Some additional research
facilities in environmental biotechnology and atmospheric engineering
are located in other locations on Drexel's campus.
Among the equipment available for student research are atomic absorption spectrophotometers,
UV-visible spectrophotometers, gas-liquid chromatographs, ion chromatograph,
ICP-Mass Spectrometer, GC-Mass Spectrometer, high performance liquid
chromatographs, total organic carbon analyzer with sludge/sediment
sampler, high-speed refrigerated centrifuge, ozone generators, and
UV photochemical reactor.
Drexel University is a national leader in
the use of computers for educational and research functions. Several
facilities on campus are available for student use.
