My Project

The first and foremost is to give all students a chance to experience the real world. One aspect of forensic science that needs increased study is Environmental and Ecological Forensic Science. With recent environmental crises such as the Flint Water Crisis and the East Palestine Train Derailment, environmental forensics is increasingly close to home and relevant.

Our goal is to initiate the curiosity to question the impact of water, air, and soil abnormalities on the human condition and the environment.

These supplies will immerse students in detailed environmental forensic science and law case studies.
