About the Group

The Organic Geochemistry Research Group (OGRG) is a multidisciplinary research group focusing on two important issues. First, is the fate, transport, and degradation of organic contaminants in the environment with special on nonpoint-source contamination from agricultural chemicals. Second, the research objective has been broadened to include the environmental issues of emerging contaminants and how they affect the water. These compounds are combined with analytical methods to determine and link to both geochemical and hydrologic processes.
