Research topics include the effects of land use change on the terrestrial and subtidal environments; relationships between tidal and riparian soils and water quality, restoration, and land management; the role of soils in the treatment of domestic wastewater; and the processes operating in hydric soils, subaqueous soils, and soils with aquic conditions. Soil research has focused on micro and macro-morphology of carbon forms in riparian soils, variability in carbon storage among soil types varying by drainage classes, fate and transport of N and P in shallow-narrow drainfields, distribution of subaqueous soils in estuaries, and soil morphology-aquic condition relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Water Quality:<\/strong>\u00a0Research addresses the effects of land use and natural features on water quality and river flow regimes, with particular focus on sources and sinks of nitrogen in mixed-use watersheds. Outreach and extension activities targeted at local efforts to restore and protect watershed quality are a strong component of research in water quality at URI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>URI water students receive a broad background in earth sciences, soil science, land use planning and engineering.\u00a0 Our students pursue research that combines fieldwork with laboratory work.
