James Coll with the text, 'Ph.D. Candidate, Geography'

Water is all around us, and there's a lot of it. More than 2.7 million miles of streams and rivers exist in the U.S. alone, in fact.

James Coll wants to fill that data void, and his research in KU Geography's Ph.D. program centers on ways that drone technology can help scholars measure and categorize that cycle.

Spaces where life-changing discoveries are made, no doubt — but Katie Rhine and her dedicated team of fellow scholars had something else in mind.
