Recent increases in the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane have emphasized the need for a more complete understanding of the processes that control carbon transfer among air, land, and water. Knowledge of the amount, rate and chemical form of carbon transfer across environmental interfaces, such as the land-air and water-air interfaces, is of particular importance. These fluxes are commonly controlled by a combination of physical, biological, and chemical processes at or near the interface. Isolation of the primary mechanisms that determine carbon transfer across the interface allows for development of process-based models that can be used for carbon mass transfer estimates at the ecosystem...

My research program is multifaceted and involves the development of integrated hydrological, geochemical, and biological knowledge on the source-to-receptor approach to assessing impacts of emerging contaminants (hormones, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, commercial cleaning products). This applied research is targeted on issues important to water-resource managers and policy makers, and the results communicated to a spectrum of stakeholders. The current focus of my research is the impact of biologically-active contaminants on aquatic organisms, and the relationship to receiving water (surface water and groundwater) attenuation capacity. Several major classes of contaminants are being investigated – endocrine...
