My group is investigating soil lead hazards in the City of St. Louis along the path of the May 2025 tornado. All of the heavy lifting is being done by a great group of @washuartsci undergrads! This project is supported by the new Public Exchange at WashU. source.washu.edu/2026/01/washu-…

We currently have three open tenure-track faculty positions at @Columbia in the area of Earth Science! Two are teaching focused in the Dept of Earth & Environmental Sciences (DEES) and one is a research focused position at @LamontEarth.

Really nice work about dust provenance from fellow @LamontEarth students and faculty. It is hard to imagine a dusty Antarctica.

Now we are cooking with(out) gas. Great work to examine health benefits of cooking without gas in NYC. A great partnership between @weact4ej and @ColumbiaMSPH @LamontEarth and others.

Strong work from @misbath_d and colleagues at @weact4ej, @RockyMtnInst, @BerkeleyAir, @AccessSensor, @ColumbiaMSPH, @LamontEarth. "results suggest that decarbonization energy transitions can improve health by reducing indoor NO2" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New work from the @KathrinSchilli3 and the Metals lab at @ColumbiaMSPH working with @LamontEarth scientists Beizhan Yan and Khue Nguyen (and others) on a neglected exposure pathway to metals and other contaminants. Funded in part by @SRP_NIEHS via @Columbia_SRP and @CEHJNM

New #ColumbiaEHS & @UCBerkeleySPH study finds toxic metals in tampons from various brands, raising public health concerns due to the high potential for chemical absorption through vaginal skin. @KathrinSchilli3 #WomensHealth ow.ly/aerN50Sx9Iv

The Woodwell Climate team has been amazing to work with, so please consider applying for this opportunity! The postdoc hired through this project will work closely with me.
Jonathan Sanderman@sandersoil
The advertisement for our postdoc position in rangeland carbon monitoring is now live. This is an amazing opportunity to work with @WoodwellClimate and partners @LamontEarth @NFWFnews @WWF @audubonsociety. I'm happy to answer any questions (email or DM). workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default…

Thrilled to see my first masters student's work from @uzh_geo out in @SciReports. Nisha S. investigated how water table and soil treatments influence root traits of rice grown in degraded peat soil. And how root traits relate to CH4. doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Our work on purple sulfur bacteria and pyrite is finally published! 🙌

Applications of basic science and engineering take time to develop. In this case, many years. And involve a necessary jump into a natural environment. That jump is a challenge to achieve and this work is particularly meaningful in that regard. We look forward to what's next. 6/6

Finally, after considerable effort, the first field trial of our iron-based remediation methods. The Suns Jing and Yuqin used Fe(II) injections to remediate natural As contamination affecting an irrigation well in Western China. 1/ @SRP_NIEHS funded pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Research involved long time collaborators Yan Zheng, Henning Prommer, our students, and Hung Sun, now a professor at Chinese Academy if Sciences but at one time the PhD student developing this work in my group. 5/

High pumping rates in irrigation wells limit contact time and interactions, but adsorption was still appreciable during the pump phase. Overall excellent work doing how we can successfully inject F(II)-nitrate into a week generate Stable ferric minerals and treat water. 4/
English
Magnetite and other Fe(III) minerals formed in the pore sources and effectively decreased As levels without decreasing pore volumes and flow. The complications come from asymmetry in mineralization around the well and dual domain flow. 3/
English
This work is essentially a push-pull experiment to remediate a region around an irrigation well. It was complicated to execute given the perturbed nature of the aquifer, but was successful. Modeling was necessary to figure out what happened (chemistry/Geobiol. is complicated) 2/

Arsenic remediation in highly-contaminated sites represents a challenge that requires active approaches. With collaborators Alyssa Barron, Henning Prommer, and others, we demonstrate how As is retained by in situ iron mineral formation, @SRP_NIEHS funded pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

A chance to go work with a real leader in our field.

My friend and colleague Charlie Harvey doing the kind of research that you can only propose, fund and execute as a full professor. Great work to understand tropical peat forests.

Charles Harvey, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at MIT, spent over 15 years studying a peat bog in Brunei to produce a mathematical model for how much carbon any given bog contains. quantamagazine.org/simple-equatio…

An amazing idea. #openscience is perfect to actually make a tool (and data) that often is never reproduced. I want one of these for both education and research.
