TRANSFORMATIONS TO GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY
Undergraduate Student Learning
Interviews with T2GS Scholars
The T2GS project has a unique component of undergraduate learning through the University of California, Santa Cruz. Through a class based in global approaches to water justice, undergraduate students gained skills in conducting research and got involved in the process of research-based learning. Students developed and conducted interviews with international scholars working on the T2GS project and wrote a descriptive synopsis based on a discussion of their work on groundwater sustainability.
