My research focuses on the cycling and fate of pollutants with emphasis on: (1)fate of metals and metalloids in aquatic systems; (2) trace metal speciation and dynamics; (3)the biogeochemistry of freshwater systems; and (4) the potential impacts of nanotechnology on the environment. Other fields of interests include global change driven changes in land use types and the resulting environmental impacts. Current ongoing research projects are in the following areas:- Aquatic biogeochemistry of mercury- Effects of increased UV radiation and temperatures on mercury cycling and toxicity - Remediation technologies for metal contaminated sediments, soils, and water - Nanotechnology and the environment: biogeochemical and toxicological aspects at the ecosystem level.
