Research:
Specializing in the study of the fate and transport of ground water contamination and ground water supply sustainability. Current projects:Using GIS based analyses in evaluating spatial and temporal trends in bedrock well hydraulic characteristics and water quality; Developing methods to improve the determination of hydraulic conductivity; Evaluating the impact of on-site groundwater infiltration at service stations on contaminant source distribution; Evaluating the occurrence and sources of high levels of manganese in bedrock drinking water wells in Connecticut; Assessing temporal trends in ground water levels in Connecticut in response to global climate change; Evaluating historical trends in salt levels in surface water and ground water in Connecticut.; Developing an approach for assessing water resources in fractured crystalline bedrock and impacts of pumping on sustainability.
