Field Activities
Professional Interests
Investigation of biogeochemical processes related to fluvial transport and subsequent burial of organic and inorganic constituents in Gulf of Mexico sediment, to provide better understanding of historic and current pollutant storage and transport in this highly industrialized and fragile coastal system.
Integrated investigations of coastal aquifers, including study of water-rock interactions, hydrogeology, geomicrobiology, chemical and physical oceanography, marine biology, electrical geophysical techniques, and isotope geochemistry. Current work includes projects in California (Santa Barbara), Washington (Puget Sound), Florida (Florida panhandle, Biscayne Bay, Florida Bay, southeastern coastal waters, west-central Florida, Tampa Bay), and Israel.
