Bio

I study contamination of surface water and groundwater, particularly by nutrients.  I also run a program to involve undergraduates from Wake Tech in summer research.  I taught geochemistry, contaminant hydrology and introductory geology until I retired in the summer of 2015 as a professor and now no longer teach but continue my research as a research professor.

Research Description

I am currently studying nitrogen contamination in the Rocky and Haw Rivers and plastics in surface waters in the Triangle area. All work is being done in collaboration with undergraduate students.
