Research Interests
Groundwater Geochemistry of Arsenic
Research Description
I am interested in the abiotic groundwater geochemistry of arsenic in altered local aquifer environments. Aquifers are comprised of saturated geologic units whose chemical mineralogy represents complex assemblages of dominant and trace solid phases. In…[read more]

Environmental aqueous geochemistry, subsurface hydrology
Research Description
Soils are open, multicomponent, biogeochemical systems containing solids, liquids, and gases. That they are open systems means soils exchange both matter and energy with the surrounding atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere. These flows of…[read more]
