Bleam, William F. — Professor
Research interests are the physical chemistry of organic and inorganic colloids in soils and sediments. Research relates primarily to humic chemistry (metal complexation, sorption of organics, microbial interactions) and sorption at mineral/water interfaces. Techniques involve a variety of physical methods: synchrotoron x-ray absorption spectroscopy (both soft and hard x-ray) and magnetic methods (electron paramagnetic resonance, solution and multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic susceptibility characterization).
Also
Soil Science.
Helmke, Phillip — Professor
Research interests include concentrations and behavior of the chemical elements in the various phases and components of the soil-water-plant system and reaction pathways of the elements in this important bio-geochemical system, bio-availability and uptake of elements by plants and to the behavior of elements added to soils from recycled wastes and contaminants and trace metals and phosphorus.
Also

Karthikeyan, K. G. — Assistant Professor
Research interests include fate, removal, and transport of nutrients and contaminants in surface/subsurface environments,
water quality chemistry, land application of agricultural/municipal/industrial waste, applications of GIS/water quality models, physical and chemical processes for water, wastewater, and waste treatment, and soil decontamination.
Also
Biological Systems Engineering.
McMahon, Katherine (Trina) — Assistant Professor
My students and I study the microbial ecology of natural and engineered systems, with an emphasis on those that use microbes to remove pollutants from water. We use molecular tools to investigate microbial community structure and function in activated sludge, subsurface environments, and freshwater bodies. This information will ultimately lead to the construction of better mechanistic models to describe such processes as wastewater treatment, bioremediation, and nutrient cycling.
Also
Civil and Environmental Engineering,
Limnology and Marine Science.
Noguera,Daniel R. — Professor
Research interests include environmental engineering, biotechnology, microbial ecology, biological nutrient removal, biofilms, mathematical modeling, and biodegradation pathways, nitroaromatic compounds.

Pedersen, Joel A. — Assistant Professor
Research focuses on the behavior of organic toxicants in aquatic, soil and sediment systems with a particular emphasis on understanding the role played by natural organic matter in controlling their bioavailability, degradability and mobility. Major research interests include the elucidation of molecular mechanisms responsible for sequestration and time-dependent decline in bioavailability of sediment- and soil-associated contaminants and the interaction of humic substances with mineral surfaces.
Also
