Charles "Chuck" Cravotta is a research hydrologist whose projects focus on geochemical and hydrological processes that control water quality, particularly the sources, transport, and attenuation of metals and nutrients in watersheds and aquifers affected by mining. Results apply to scientific and regulatory programs for the prevention and remediation of aquatic contamination.
