Overview
Our research examines the biogeochemistry and hydrogeology of aqueous systems, with emphasis on groundwater. Recent and ongoing projects in the group include projects that seek to better understand:
Research approach and facility We conduct both field and laboratory studies. In both cases, our research approach often combines chemical analyses of water, gas, and solids with geochemical modeling calculations and analyses that directly examine microbial community composition. Students in the group, therefore, can gain experience with a broad range of techniques. Our laboratory contains equipment needed for a variety of geochemical and microbiological tasks including:
Field equipment include:
