Faculty research covers a range of topics in the general areas of Environmental Hydrogeology, Aquatic Geochemistry, and Modeling. Our interests include the fate and transport of contaminants in the unsaturated and saturated zone, stable isotope hydrology, surface-water/ground-water interactions, and innovative remediation technologies.
URI hydrogeology students receive a broad background in earth sciences and engineering. Our students pursue research which combines fieldwork with laboratory work. Our field Hydrogeology projects have taken students to field sites within the USA as well as abroad, i.e. Jordan, Kenya, and India.
Hydrogeology and Water Resources faculty maintain strong collaborative links with faculty in Natural Resources Sciences as well as the College of Engineering and the Graduate School of Oceanography.
