My interests are broadly focused in surficial geology, particularly in the areas of hydrogeology, glacial geology, and environmental geology. In hydrogeology, my interests lie in water quality problems associated with both point and non-point sources of contamination. Agricultural non-point contamination has been a recent emphasis. Also, for the past several years, I have been mapping the glacial geology in southwestern Michigan in order to work out the stratigraphy and the aquifer relationships and to examine specific problems such as bluff recession along Lake Michigan.
