Rakiba Sultana, PhD Student, was awarded the NSF’s Non-Academic Research Internships for Graduate Students (INTERN) to conduct numerical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport under the mentorship of Dr. Michael Fienen at the USGS’s Upper Midwest Water Science Center… Read More
Dr. Martin Dangelmayr (post-doc) and Cullen Meurer (former master’s student) published a cutting-edge technical article titled, Desorption and co-dissolution of uranium-bearing solids during alkalinity enhanced flushing of contaminated sediments, in the journal Groundwater Monitoring and Remediation. The results of this… Read More
Dr. Paradis gave a YouTube livestream webinar titled, Tracking Salt: From Winter Roads to Summer Streams, as part of this year’s Wisconsin Salt Awareness Week. This research is based on Leah Dechant’s master’s thesis that is focused on quantifying the… Read More
A new research article titled, Single-Well Push–Pull Tracer Test Analyses to Determine Aquifer Reactive Transport Parameters at a Former Uranium Mill Site (Grand Junction, Colorado), was recently published in the scientific journal Minerals. This research used PHREEQC (geochemistry), PHT-USG (flow… Read More
A field tracer study was just published in the Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, titled, “Elucidating mobilization mechanisms of uranium during recharge of river water to contaminated groundwater“. This publication was based on the master’s thesis of Kendyl Hoss (link to… Read More
The Paradis Lab was awarded $350,000 by the NSF to research the biogeochemical mechanisms that are likely responsible for enhanced flushing of uranium during oxygen- and carbonate-rich well injections. Details of this award can be found at the NSF Awards… Read More
Rakiba Sultana (PhD student) and Leah Dechant (MS student) were awarded $2,700 and $2,378, respectively, in support of their graduate research projects for the summer of 2022 by the Geological Society of America. Rakiba’s research proposal is focused on the… Read More
Matao Casarez won best poster in the 14th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium at UWM with the project titled, “Lithium Metal Recovery from Permian Basin Produced Water“. This research showed that produced water was several times saltier than sea water and… Read More
UW-Milwaukee assistant professor Charlie Paradis is studying how that road salt impacts waterways in our area. “We suspect that there’s a subsurface component that is storing road salt over the summer months,” he explains. LINK TO FULL STORY
Students from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) are helping the Office of Legacy Management (LM) evaluate sources of groundwater contamination at LM’s Riverton, Wyoming, Processing Site. See LINK.
