Research group in August 2017
About
The Alessi Research Group is curious, engaged, and active in furthering our understanding of the water cycle in unconventional energy recovery and the surface chemistry of materials including biochar, microbes, minerals, and sediments.
Driving Questions
How can the water cycle of unconventional energy development be improved to minimize environmental impacts and responsibly manage development?
What are the underlying mechanisms by which environmental surfaces, including minerals and bacteria, control the mobility of nutrients and contaminants in the subsurface and water bodies?
Can biochar play a role in water treatment technologies, soil amendment, and carbon sequestration?
