More specifically my research projects have addressed the remediation of contaminated surface waters with aquatic plants; effect of soil properties, tillage and drainage practices, and application rates on the degradation and transport of pesticides; quantifying the off-site transport of pesticides and nutrients with runoff from golf course turf and vegetable crops; assessing the influence of vegetative mulches to reduce pesticide transport with runoff from vegetable crops; and use of management practices to mitigate off-site transport of pesticides and nutrients from turf. Additional interests and upcoming research may include evaluation of the environmental fate and effects of antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, byproducts, and contaminants associates with new technologies and practices.
