Molecular Environmental Science
The faculty in Molecular Environmental Sciences conducts research on biogeochemical processes that control the cycling and fate of carbon, trace elements, and contaminants within soils, groundwater, and surface water. Research objectives include understanding how abiotically- and biologically-controlled molecular level reactions are manifested in field and landscape scale processes. Current projects examine contaminant-mineral interactions, the chemical speciation and speciation transformations of contaminants in complex environmental media, and the effect of the molecular form of contaminants on the transport, bioavailability and toxicity of contaminants. Additional research seeks to establish the underlying mechanisms involved in the natural attenuation of metals and radionuclides and those involved in novel in-situ remediation strategies. Research on Molecular Environmental Science is carried out at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory.
