Abstract |
In order to determine the extent of interest at academic institutions in water-related research, a survey of the 21 colleges and universities in the state of Connecticut was conducted. Results of the survey were used to compile this directory. Eighteen out of the 21 reporting institutions had faculty in water research, representing a total of 186 individuals. Faculty was classified according to department, institution and subject matter. Of the 38 academic departments represented, the social sciences of law, economics and political science comprise less than 10%, the biological sciences more than 25%, the engineering sciences, along with the earth sciences and chemistry, approximately 14% each. Lesser percentages from a wide range of subjects such as Art, Pathobiology, Journalism, Statistics and Elementary Education formed the remaining 23%. The directory will be of value to people throughout the state who are concerned with the proper management and development of water resources in Connecticut. (Author Modified Abstract) |
