Soil Physics/Vadose Zone Hydrology Mission

Our mission is, through research and teaching, to advance the understanding of subsurface flow and transport processes, particularly in the vadose zone, and to apply this knowledge to improve environmental management and clean-up of subsurface systems.

Our specific research areas and expertise comprise the following: (1) Characterization of water flow and solute transport in the vadose zone, (2) colloid-facilitated transport of contaminants through the vadose zone, (3) modeling sorption kinetics and transport of organic chemicals, colloids, and viruses, (4) characterization and evaluation of dye tracers for solute transport studies, and (5) quantification and modeling of dispersion during solute transport in porous media.
