Current research areas

  • Environmental geochemistry, water-rock interaction, and water quality (arsenic and other naturally-occurring trace elements in groundwater…) 
  • Groundwater in Piedmont watersheds, urbanization, and critical zone processes (Springs of the Piedmont region, weathering and watersheds at Redlair Observatory…)
  • Water quality and groundwater-surface water interactions in urban and restored streams
  • Trace elements in the environment
  • Environmental isotopes

Recent Thesis Topics in the Hydrogeochemistry Research Group

 
My research uses natural elements and isotope fingerprints to trace hydrogeochemical interactions between water, rocks, and microorganisms. My research program is highly interdisciplinary, including recent collaboration with colleagues in soil science, environmental engineering, public health, and geospatial science.
 
At UNC Charlotte, I teach courses in water resources, environmental geochemistry, groundwater, and hydrologic tracers.
