Overview
The Contaminated Sediments Center at the University of New Hampshire
consists of a number of faculty and graduate students within the
Environmental Research Group. Research is conducted on a wide variety
of topics, from beneficial use of contaminated dredged material
to modeling of sediment transport in estuarine systems. Some current
research activities are highlighted below.
