Our goal is to prepare Vanderbilt graduate students with the academic knowledge, research acumen, communications skills and leadership experiences to tackle environmental challenges such as:
- Alternative approaches to leaching and contaminant release mechanisms
- Bioavailability and biological processes that affect contaminant fate and transport
- Environmental restoration of legacy nuclear and hazardous waste sites
- Environmental security and vulnerability analysis
- Long-term sustainable environmental protection
- Multi-scale and multi-media contaminant fate and transport in the subsurface
- Reliability and security of environmental protection systems
- Risk assessment and risk-informed decision making
- Assessment of modern environmental change in the ocntext of the record of past variability
- Present and predicated future vulnerability of coastal environments
- Magmatic processes that underlie volcanic hazards
- Predicting landscape evolution in a changing environment
