Environmental Engineering And Science Faculty
Associate Professor
Arthur and Virginia Nauman Faculty Scholar
Dr. Bond's research addresses the interface between energy use, atmospheric composition, and global climate. Her group studies the chemistry, physics, and optics that govern the environmental impacts of combustion effluents, especially carbonaceous particles. Her research includes development of past, present and future global emission inventories, global simulations of aerosol transport and fate, and laboratory and field measurements of particle emission rates and properties.
Professor Emeritus
Dr. Eheart's research focuses on the use of mathematical models and engineering principles in the development of environmental policy. His research has been applied to problems of water and air pollution control, water quantity maintenance, groundwater remediation and monitoring, as well as assessment of and adaptation to global climate change.
Assistant Professor of Environmental Engineering
Dr. Finneran’s research focuses on anaerobic microbial ecology, emphasizing basic microbial physiology and its role in biodegradation and how it can be adapted for bioremediation strategies. Metals, radionuclides, and organic compounds are investigated in contaminated subsurface aquifer material to determine the relevant metabolic pathways, microbial community or population dynamics, and competing factors that influence the contaminant’s fate and transport. Research is conducted with pure cultures and aquifer material at the bench scale and adapted to larger scales when appropriate.
Professor
Dr. Herricks' research interests include the development of a systems approach to minimizing wildlife/aircraft interactions and improving aircraft safety; evaluation of the regional effects of climate change, specifically the effect of climate change scenarios on fisheries; the restoration of streams in urban areas, including the development of ecological engineering concepts for watershed management; and the development of an integrated hydrologic, geomorphic, and ecological classification system for watershed management.
Lecturer and Research Scientist
Associate Professor
Assistant Dean and Director, Women in Engineering
Dr. Larson’s research areas include experimental, field, and modeling investigations in air quality. In the area of aerosol optics, she and her research group have studied how particles absorb and scatter light and modeled how this behavior can affect atmospheric visibility and radiative transfer. They have carried out projects into growth mechanisms of air pollution particles, worked to identify their physical and chemical characteristics, and modeled air pollution from the microscale to the global scale.
