Environmental Chemistry & Hydrogeochemistry

The Environmental Chemistry/Hydrogeochemistry program utilizes advanced analytical and spectroscopic techniques for defining chemical speciation and/or contaminant mineral-surface interactions and their role in controlling transport, bioavailability, and toxicity of metals, metalloids, and radionuclides from wasteforms and within the environment as well as in defining primary pathways involved in trophic transfer of contaminants. Research efforts involve studies examining the fundamental physicochemical mechanisms controlling contaminant migration in surface and subsurface environments, molecular-level mechanisms of contaminant toxicity, and the design and evaluation of novel remediation strategies with emphasis on minimally invasive and natural attenuation processes.
