Hope's Dune Research Group, led by Geology Professor Suzanne DeVries-Zimmerman, is actively investigating the unique freshwater dunes of West Michigan. Their long-term research includes studying nitrate concentrations in well water and observing the ecological changes in interdunal wetlands. This vital work provides critical insights into the health of our local environment and Lake Michigan. #HopeCollege #Geology #EnvironmentalScience #LakeMichigan #GreatLakes #StudentResearch
