About this listen

Join Hugh Markey and Marc Doherty for a walking tour through the Champlin Farm Preserve with Dr. Thomas Boving, a hydrogeologist and professor at the University of Rhode Island. As we explore the landscape, Dr. Boving uncovers how glaciers, fault lines, and flowing water have shaped the land over millennia. From bedrock to boulders, we learn how geology and hydrology reveal the power of our rivers.

Dr. Boving is a professor in URI’s Department of Geosciences and an expert in groundwater protection, contaminant transport, and sustainable water management.
