    Areas of Interests: Soil and groundwater remediation. Research interests include using electrokinetic remediation and phytoremediation for contaminant removal, mapping contaminated sites, and developing innovative soil and groundwater remediation techniques. Also interested in nondestructive monitoring of soil water content, soil salinity, and snow density using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR).

    Areas of Interests: My research interest is in the field of chemistry of materials and its environmental and energy applications. My research projects include: (1) developing novel metal-organic framework structures as energy storage and distribution devices. (2) developing environmentally friendly nano-scaled fire-retardant additives. (3) template-effect of bio-molecules in the synthesis of nano-particles.

    Areas of Interests: Dr. Parkinson's research interests are in two areas: 1) the extraction of trace level metals, vocs and contaminants from aquatic systems, and 2) the study of metal binding through preparation and characterization of novel organophosphorus ligands. Both chemistries emphasize the use and development of analytical spectroscopy (GC/MS, nD-NMR, FTIR) and SPME-hyphenated techniques.

    Areas of Interests: I am interested in how the configuration and composition of landscapes influence the movement and population dynamics of forest birds. Most recently, I have been studying the ability of individuals to move through and utilize forested areas which have been modified through timber harvest as they seek out resources for the breeding and postfledging phases. As habitat is lost or degraded through human activities such as logging, the landscape becomes more fragmented, the capacity to move in search of critical resources is constrained, and species may disappear from these areas.
