University of Arkansas Guide to Geosciences |
This is a guide that will point you to geology books, journals, websites and more. Use the tabs at the top to navigate through the guide. |

UASILThe University of Arkansas Stable Isotope Laboratory |
Please contact UASIL before sending samples, 479-575-5377. All samples should be
sent with a clearly defined sample identification number. Please include a list of
your samples that you want analyzed.
Samples names ideally have basic characters. Avoid sample names with characters such
as "/", "+", "µ". Numbers, letters and underscores are great.
Filters for analysis by elemental analyzer and continuous flow mass spectrometer
We recommend using quartz filters for collecting your samples and then trimming away
the parts of the filter that do not contain the collected material. Many have contacted
us about running samples collected on glass fiber filters after they have already
prepared them. We cannot run glass fiber filters as they will melt at the temperature
of the combustion column in our EA (quartz will not), resulting in both unusable results
and an unusable analyzer.
Organic Samples
If you will be weighing your own samples, all organic samples should be dried and
ground to pass a 40 mesh screen. Sample heterogeneity is one of the most common causes
of "noise" in isotopic analysis, so grind and thoroughly mix each sample as well as
possible.
Pure Gasses
All pure gas samples should be cryogenically purified before sample submission. Please
send samples in 6 mm Pyrex tubes at least 8" long. Please contact us for sample amounts
needed for each isotope.

AWRC Water Quality Laboratory |
The AWRC's Water Quality Lab provides, analytical, field, and technical support to the water quality investigative community, including university researchers, state agencies, federal agencies, and private groups or individuals that may need assistance. |
 |
Arkansas Water Resources Center (AWRC) |
The AWRC in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Institute for Water Resources (NIWR), has a statewide mission to plan and conduct water resource research. The AWRC cooperates closely with colleges, universities and other organizations in Arkansas to address the state's water and land-related problems, promote the dissemination and application of research results, and provide for the training of scientists in water resources. |
 |
The Arkansas Water Resources Division of the USGS |
The U.S. Geological Survey is the Nation's largest earth-science agency and the principal Federal agency for providing hydrologic information and for appraising the Nation's water resources. The water resources of Arkansas consist of numerous streams, springs, lakes, and aquifer systems. Streamflow, ground-water levels, and water-quality data are collected throughout the state. These hydrologic data and other data are used in research and hydrologic studies to describe the quantity, quality, and location of Arkansas' water resources. The collection, analysis, and interpretation of these data are done in cooperation with other Federal, State and Local agencies, universities, and research centers. |

Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) |
The CAST program was established at the University of Arkansas in September of 1991 in order to bring together considerable expertise of a network of researchers with a long standing history of GIS development at the University of Arkansas. CAST facilities. Computing and Research Instrumentation. Geomatics Curriculum. |
 |
The University of Arkansas Center for Math and Science Education (CMASE), one of twelve
mathematics and science centers on university and college campuses around the state,
provides quality resources and materials to the home, private and public education
community. The Arkansas NASA Educator Resource Center, located within CMASE, is the
state's dissemination point for education materials provided by NASA. Resources and
school/classroom presentations are free of charge.
The University of Arkansas provides an extensive resource that brings together University
personnel, programs and resources with for Students and Teachers in grades K-16.

Environmental Dynamics Program |
Environmental Dynamics, the interdisciplinary study of complex human and environmental interactions. It stresses interdisciplinary regional analysis of geophysical, biological, climatic, and socio cultural interactions and changes, including natural and social impacts of global climatic change, human demography, pollution, landscape evolution and degradation, earthquakes, and groundwater depletion. The program stresses the application of appropriate methodologies such as GIS, GPS, remote sensing, computer modeling, and cartography to environmental problems. The research approach integrates the power, efficiency, and economy of advanced computer-based technologies into the study of human-environmental interactions within recent Earth history. |
 |
Space and Planetary Sciences (SPAC) program and the space center |
The Department of Geosciences is a partnering department in the Arkansas Center for
Space and Planetary Sciences and in cooperation with the center offers several graduate
programs: PhD in space and planetary sciences MS in space and planetary sciences MS in geology with a concentration in space and planetary sciences MA in geography with a concentration in space and planetary sciences These programs consist of courses in planetary geology, planetary astronomy, planetary atmospheres, astrobiology, and astronautics with seminars, proseminars, laboratory courses, internships and field trips. An important element of all these programs is a research project that can be chosen from a wide variety of topics in the Earth and planetary sciences. While specialists in geosciences are sought in these programs, the programs are designed to emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of this area of research. |
