Congratulations to Dr. Robert Root for his recent Promotion to Associate Research Professor in the Department of Environmental Science!

Robert Root is a geochemist with a research focus on molecular-scale mechanisms of biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and metal(loid)s in the environment and mineral weathering reactions at the rock-water interface. He specializes in the use of synchrotron X-ray spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to determine metal(loid) speciation from field and laboratory studies of environmental metal(loid) mobilization, sequestration/remediation, and bio-accessibility.

Dr. Robert Root works with Dr. Jon Chorover in Project 4: Environmental Controls on Bioavailability of Arsenic and Toxic Metals.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Robert Root!
