Research Project: Water and Soil Assessment and Bioremediation
Prerequisite: General Chemistry and Biology courses with lab, computer language desirable but not required
Description: The project is an environmental assessment of water quality and soil condition for heavy metals and organic compounds mostly gasoline derivatives (BTEX). Data resulting from the laboratory analysis will be modeled to determine the fate and transport of the contaminant.
