Dr. Land’s research foc uses on regional investigations of groundwater resources within the extensi ve karstic aquifers of southern New Mexico and west Texas\; and on geophysi cal investigations of karst geohazards. He earned Bachelors and Masters deg rees from the University of Oklahoma\, and a Ph.D. from the University of N orth Carolina at Chapel Hill\, where his doctoral research included submers ible investigations of submarine sinkholes in the Straits of Florida.\n\nFo r more information\, contact Dr. Gregory Springer.
