We apply qualitative concepts and mathematical models to describe and analyze the physical, chemical, and hydrological processes in ecosystem, address both the fundamental and applied aspects of the field including: surface water quality, vadose zone functions, septic drain field site assessment and function, land treatment of wastewater, erosion control, soil contamination with metals and pesticides, remediation of contaminated soils, soil degradation, nutrient management, movement of contaminants in soils and waters, land use and global warming.Our services include:
• Site investigation and environmental sampling;
• Simulation of groundwater contaminant transport and remediation of contaminated sites;
• Characterization of soil physical and chemical characteristics: soil temperature, soil moisture, snow pack, ice, evaporation, available N, Eh, soil carbon and nitrogen profiles;
• Identification of chemicals/contaminants transport pathways;
• Prediction of hydrological dynamics (e.g.water table dynamics, surface flow, subsurface flow and ground water flow) and the impact of land management practices on water, sediment and agricultural chemical yields in watersheds with varying soils, land use and management conditions over long periods of time.
