Biography
Robert Schincariol, Professor of the department of Earth Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Ph.D. The Ohio State University, 1993.
Research Interest
My general research area is hydrogeology, which deals with the subsurface movement of water and the various physical and chemical interactions of this water within geological environments. These basinal environments naturally "spill onto" the surface hydrology environments of watersheds, rivers, and lake systems. Hydrogeology is by nature an interdisciplinary field since it applies principles of fluid physics, mathematics, chemistry, biogeochemistry and engineering within a geological environment. Specifically, my research focuses on (1) the physical and chemical phenomena associated with the subsurface transport of contaminants, (2) subsurface heat transport, (3) permafrost hydrogeology, and (4) watershed hydrology. My expertise lies in the area of contaminant hydrogeology, low- temperature geothermal energy, permafrost hydrogeology, and physical hydrology.
