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.
