Bruce W. Nelson
Professor Emeritus
My research focuses on the chemical quality of surface water and the geochemistry of sediments. Measures are sought for the amount and sources of anthropogenic inputs of both major elements and trace elements into freshwater catchments and estuarine and deltaic depositional sites. Interest has been devoted largely to river and estuarine systems of the temperature zone, but also includes tropical systems, especially in Southeast Asia.
