Lt. Col. Kathleen Smits, U.S. Air Force Reserve professor assigned to the U.S. Air Force Academy, releases fluorescent tracer dye into a stream during a CivEngr 351 Civil Engineering Practices exercise at the U.S. Air Force Academy, June 16, 2026. As part of water resources field operations, cadets track how the dye moves and disperses through the waterway to investigate the transport processes engineers use to understand contaminant movement, evaluate water quality and assess the behavior of natural water systems.
