From page 352...
... Prior to this appointment, she was the Horace Williams King Collegiate Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her primary research focus is the integration of mathematical modeling and laboratory experiments to investigate and elucidate processes governing the transport, fate, and remediation of nonaqueous phase liquid organic contaminants in the subsurface.
From page 353...
... Her current research interests are the biotransformation of contaminants in the subsurface, including chlorinated solvents, MTBE, and NDMA, and innovative methods for evaluating in situ bioremediation, including molecular biology, isotope use, and direct microscopy. Part of her research on natural attenuation took place at Alameda Point Naval Air Station.
From page 354...
... He currently directs contaminant transport monitoring research efforts in the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS) , a National Science Foundation science and technology center housed at UCLA.
From page 355...
... He has past experience with treatment of chlorinated organics by air sparging and vacuum extraction; treatment of an unlined landfill organic waste disposal cell by thermal enhanced vapor extraction; and technology program management for the containment and/or treatment of radioactive/mixed-waste landfills. His explosives experience extends to environmental factors that affect chemical sensing of buried landmines and mass transfer of solid phase energetics to soil pore water.
From page 356...
... His areas of research include subsurface transport and fate processes, subsurface remediation technologies, development of environmentally friendly products and processes, and innovative educational methods. He is also a partner at Surfactant Associates, Inc., and the cofounder and coprincipal at Surbec Environmental, which designs and implements innovative subsurface remediation technologies.
From page 357...
... She has over 20 years of experience in environmental investigation, risk assessment, and industrial hygiene/health and safety. She has managed environmental projects, including site investigations and cleanups, environmental audits for industrial and clinical facilities, and human health and ecological risk assessments for numerous sites across the country including Superfund sites, military facilities, and private industrial sites.
From page 358...
... Since joining the NRC in 1997, she has served as study director for 11 committees, including the Committee to Review the New York City Watershed Management Strategy, the Committee on Riparian Zone Functioning and Strategies for Management, and the Committee on Bioavailability of Contaminants in Soils and Sediment. She received her B.S.
