The Appalachian Water Research Exchange (AWaRE) was created in 2020 by core team members from The Ohio State University under Sustainability Institute Seed Grant funding. Dr. Natalie Hull of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering, lead PI of AWaRE, is supported by co-PIs who form a diverse, interdisciplinary research team.
