ENVE Research

Environmental processes research focuses on developing and improving physical, chemical, and biological technologies to clean up contaminated soils, sediments, and water. Researchers combine a variety of approaches including field studies, environmental biotechnology, mathematical modeling of flow and contaminant transport, and studies of microscale phenomena. Application areas include: in-situ remediation of contaminated aquifers, biosensors for detecting contaminants in water and wastewater, methods to predict the fate and movement of sub-surface contaminants, and biofilms for waste water treatment.
