Civil and Environmental Engineering
Dave Riecks-Soucek	Water and Land Stewardship	Aquatic Contaminants	Environment & Ecology	Ecotoxicology of freshwater invertebrates; Impacts of contaminants on aquatic invertebrates.	Illinois Natural History Survey
Jeremy Guest	Water and Land Stewardship	Bioenergy Waste water treatment and product recovery	Public Health Technology	Research interests in the development of biotechnologies and decision-making tools that enable the design of more sustainable environmental infrastructure systems. Primary focus is on sanitation and the development of bioprocesses that reduce life cycle environmental impacts, reduce costs, and increase performance reliability by achieving energy, nutrient, and product recovery from wastewaters.	Civil and Environmental Engineering
William Shilts	Water and Land Stewardship	Glacial sedimentology	Transport Processes	Research Interests include configuration, dynamics, and geological constraints of the North American continental ice sheet; environmental geochemistry; glacial sedimentology and stratigraphy; neotectonic methods for detecting prehistoric seismic events, particularly in lakes; high Arctic glacier sedimentation; sedimentation and genesis of eskers; arctic and temperate limnology, especially geophysical methods of studying physical limnology, subbottom and sidescan acoustic profiles, and geochemical profiles of cores as indicators of the relative importance of anthropogenic and natural sources	Prairie Research Institute
Jonathan Tomkin	Water and Land Stewardship	Glacial erosion Landscape evolution and modeling study	Water Resources Transport Processes Climate	Researches how changing climates, surface processes, and tectonic forcings determine the landscapes we see around us, by testing theoretical models of landscape evolution and geodynamics against geomorphological, thermochronological and sedimentalogical observations. Recently, this research has involved fieldwork in the Olympic Mountains, the Patagonian Andes, and the Ross Sea.	Geology
Rob Sanford	Water and Land Stewardship	Biogeochemical processes respiratory anaerobic microorganisms	Environment & Ecology	Focuses on the Microbial Ecology of biogeochemical processes, particularly those that occur in the subsurface. Of particular interest are studies involving respiratory anaerobic microorganisms, such as those that reduce halogenated compounds and metals, in polluted ecosystems.	Geology
Alison Anders	Water and Land Stewardship	orographic precipitation landscape evolution	Modeling Simulation & Prediction Transport Processes Water Resources	Studies interactions between climate, erosion and tectonics with a focus on orographic precipitation and landscape evolution. Active areas of research include: measurement and modeling of climatological precipitation patterns at scales from 1km – 100km characterization of erosion rates in areas of spatially variable precipitation, and, numerical landscape evolution modeling. Field areas include the Olympic Mountains of Washington State, the Western Ghats of India, the Swiss Alps, and the Colorado Plateau.	Geology
