Dr. Joseph P. Smith is an environmental chemist whose primary reseach interest is in using radiochemical and biogeochemical tracers to investigate the cycling of inorganic and organic constituents in water, soil, and sediments in linked watershed-estuarine-coastal systems and to identify material sources and quantify material transport and fate.
Research interests include:
Watershed-estuarine-coastal systems processes
Biogeochemical cycles in methane hydrate bearing sediments and permafrost
Polar science
Climate change and the perturbed carbon cycle
Runoff, wastewater, stormwater impacts on urbanized watershed-estuarine-coastal systems
Unmanned and autonomous sensor platforms
Mineralogy, geochemistry, and bacterial species diversity in soils and dust in arid regions
