Soil and Water Quality. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The incumbent will develop a nationally recognized externally funded extension and research program on fate and transport of inorganic and organic contaminants, especially nutrients
in urban watersheds and investigate alternative development and remediation strategies to reduce impacts of urban soil and water management on human and natural systems health. The research program will support and be integrated with an active extension component
which is directed at communicating findings to stakeholders and addressing specific urban soil and water related issues. Some examples of extension and research topics would be, but are not limited to; evaluating the impacts of soil disturbance and fill soil
on long-term landscape soil health, contaminant leaching and runoff ; landscape water use; developing strategies to improve water quality treatment of stormwater basins; evaluate effectiveness and strategies to integrate Low Impact Design practices and other
sustainable development techniques into new and existing urban environments and more broadly; assess potential implications of climate change and sea-level rise on urban soil and water quality. The faculty member will contribute in a team approach with other
members of a four-member cohort as well as external stakeholders to develop a comprehensive understanding and strategies to protect soil and water quality in urban watersheds.
