HYDROGEOLOGY ~ GEOCHEMISTRY

My major areas of research interest are: 1) wetland hydrogeology and biogeochemistry, Sampling ground water contaminated by oil, Minnesota2) nutrient contamination and transport in watersheds with shallow soils, 3) geochemical techniques used characterize and remediate groundwater contamination, 4) and the interface between science and law. All of my research is multidisciplinary, involving the combination of geochemical and hydrologic field, laboratory, statistics, and computer simulation studies. I continue to have an active research program in northern Minnesota, evaluating the complex relationships among wetland ecosystem evolution, water chemistry, and hydrology.

Coring peat in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, CanadaA new research thrust relates to the fate and transport of nutrients from septic systems in the New York City watershed at local and regional scales. Time permitting, I'm also interested in the paleohydrogeology of regional aquifer systems and the origin of saline waters.
