Robert S. Mansell

Professor Emeritus
Vadose Zone Hydrology

DEPARTMENTAL RESEARCH AREAS
Management of Nutrients, Pesticides, and Wastes
Wetlands and Aquatic Systems

RESEARCH FOCUS
Utilizes mathematical models and experiments to investigate the influence of coupled water and heat flows upon chemical transport in sandy Florida soils. Solutes of interest include nutrient cations/anions, and contaminants such as pesticides, organic lead and hydrazine.
