Wetland Hydrobiogeochemistry
Our long-term objective is to develop a mechanistic understanding and ability to model the various processes controlling water quality in
wetlands,
and understand the implications of these processes for
watersheds
commonly found in humid regions of the United States. These processes can be hydrological, geochemicial, or biological. We are studying wetland hydrobiogeochemistry at a wetland field site at the Savannah River.

The Argonne Wetland Hydrobiogeochemistry Science Focus Area aims to understand and predict wetland ecosystem function and its control on elemental (e.g., carbon, nutrient, and contaminant) transformations and transport within a riparian wetland at the Savannah River National Laboratory.
