Research Interests
My teaching and research activities are both centered around the chemical dynamics of groundwater systems. I stress to my students that an understanding of the physical dynamics of groundwater flow is only half of the equation - understanding of the chemical behavior is equally important. Current research projects include the kinetics of nitroaromatic degradation (e.g. explosives residues) by ferrous iron, the source of radium in the groundwater of SE Wisconsin, the use of noble gases to trace provenance and recharge dynamics of regional groundwater systems, the development of real-time, in situ probes for the detection of contamination in harbor sediments and the use of satellite imagery to predict the location of geogenic contaminants in the developing world. |
