H ello and thank you for visiting this site. I am a Professor in the Department of Geology at the University of Kansas.

My area of research is in groundwater contamination and remediation, and the development of related characterization tools. I received a Pearson Medal for excellence in research in the Earth Sciences Department at the University of Waterloo, and I was a recipient of an NSF Career Grant to study the use of granular iron (zero valent iron) in groundwater remediation. I invented and patented the cross-injection system for introducing nutrients to aquifers for bioremediation, and the Point Velocity Probe (PVP) for the direct measurement of groundwater velocity. I was awarded the a Kemper Fellowship for excellence in teaching.

This website provides an overview of projects, facilities, and publications related to research with which I have been involved. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

The University of Kansas has a beautiful campus and is located in a wonderful university town, the City of Lawrence. See a little of the campus yourself by following this link. I have a few annotated pictures of Lawrence which you can see by following this link.
