Biography
Anthropogenic influences on soils, sediments, water resources and biota have continued to be major topics of research around the world, and in their laboratory. The Geochemical and Environmental Soil Science (GESS) Lab strives to supplement current and develop new investigative approaches to geochemical and environmental questions. Their facilities and cross disciplinary approach allow for a mixture of laboratory and field experimentation on classic and emerging compounds and materials of interest. Students learn a variety of analytical techniques and have access to instrumentation not commonly found in other Environmental Science departments.
Research Interest
Environmental Geochemistry of Sediments and Water, Fate and Transport of Hazardous Contaminants
