<span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-weight: 400;">1) Source tracking of phosphorus in soils and waters. This project will require knowledge on soil and mineral geochemistry, particularly
that of phosphate minerals and species and phosphorus biogeochemistry and isotope systematics. This is a field-based project on the southern Florida and is related to water quality of coastal waters and wetlands.</span></p>
