Research Interest

With over 30 years in the environmental industry I have been exposed to a variety of experiences in an ever changing and growing field. While I have a particular interest in groundwater and contaminant flow I have recently become involved in the use of biotechnology to degrade and remediate hazardous materials. Specific Research Areas of Interest include: • potable water sourcing; • water quality monitoring and modeling ; • watershed (hydrological & hydrodynamic) modeling & management; • fate and transport of contaminants in the environment; • phyto/bio-remediation design and implementation; and • contaminated site characterization.
