“Hydrogeologists and the Science of Groundwater” with Dr. Madan Maharjan

We are delighted to share our latest podcast episode “Hydrogeologists and the Science of Groundwater” with UNCP Assistant Professor of Geology, Dr. Madan Maharjan. This episode showcases Dr. Maharjan’s research in the field of Hydrogeology, which studies the movement of groundwater across our landscape. We discussed his work monitoring well water on campus and across Robeson County, and how water interacts with our environment over time.

Dr. Maharjan is a native of Nepal, and has been teaching at UNCP for three years. His research interests are in surface and groundwater interactions, heat transport, and variations in water quality and quantity. A graduate of Tribhuvan University in Nepal, Dr. Maharjan earned his Master of Science in Hydrogeology at Kent State University, and his Ph. D in Hydrogeology from West Virginia University. He is primary author of several publications and presentations, and the recipient of multiple grants supporting water research, including the current work with Robeson County discussed in this episode. 

Listen as we learn about the important work Dr. Maharjan and his students are doing to ensure that safe, clean water is available to the campus and across the county.
