Laboratory of Applied Biogeochemistry for Environmental Sustainability

The Laboratory of Applied Biogeochemistry for Environmental Sustainability investigates the mechanisms of interaction between biological and inorganic systems to examine the effect of contaminants on natural biogeochemical cycles in order to predict, avoid, and remediate current and future pollution, engineer highly efficient and sustainable resource-recovery technologies from agricultural, industrial and mining waste, and design state-of-the-art wastewater treatment systems to remove persistent contaminants in the environment using ubiquitous, inexpensive materials.
