Congratulations to Alex Collins who recently received the RPI Founders Award of Excellence! The prestigious award honors students who embody the qualities of creativity, discovery, and leadership, and the values of pride and responsibility at RPI.
With his research, Alex is establishing direct linkages among catchment geology, hydrologic behavior, and material export to predict changes in water quality that occur in response to climate change in northeastern US watersheds. In addition to his research accomplishments, Alex often volunteers to assist faculty and students with laboratory analyses and fieldwork and has given stream-side guest lectures as part of our departmental course offerings.
