Research
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.
