Jeff's research focuses on the investigation and remediation of metal-contaminated groundwater at mining and industrial sites. He conducts field and laboratory studies to determine processes controlling metal release, transport and attenuation, and the long-term performance of waste management and remedial technologies. He makes extensive use of geochemical models, and hydrogeological, geochemical, microbiological and mineralogical information obtained from laboratory and field investigations.
