  1. HYDROLOGY PATHFINDER WITH A FOCUS ON WETLANDS

  2. GOALS • After the Eluminate session with Robert Bruce, and assignment 9 called for developing a small pathfinder, I determined to create one on hydrology. • Goal 1: To create a pathfinder for use by students at San Jose State University. • Goal 2: Demonstrate a broad spectrum of materials are available for research.

  3. The Pathfinder • The Topic: • Hydrology with a focus on wetlands • Introduction: • Two definitions: one for hydrology and one for wetlands • Key Reference, • Handbook of Hydrology. An older text, but still but still provides essential basic information. • Key Resources At a Glance: • National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) a part of USGS

  4. Search Aids: Terms Search Terms: Hydrology/hydrological Wetlands Freshwater Environmental Ecology/ecological/ Ecosystem Marsh/swamp/bog/fen Wetland ecology
