From UIndy to the Yucatan Peninsula! 🌎 ✈️ As one of eight students selected for the National Science Foundation's Research Experience for Undergraduates program, Diana Jimenez '25 (Earth-Space Science) traveled to Mexico last summer to investigate groundwater contamination caused by urbanization. "There’s a lot of construction in the area due to tourism, especially with the addition of the Mayan train that was just installed within the last six months," explained Jimenez. "Our field sites were within that path. So, I wanted to see if any construction due to the train or nearby urbanization has leeched any metals into the groundwater… and I found more than I thought I would."
