Research Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering

Dr. Melton's is interested in the use of recycled materials to create aggregates for use in bound and unbound applications. Specifically, he is interested in characterizing the physical and mechanical properties of recycled material aggregates in order to determine the best use of the material. Dr. Melton will also be collaborating with Dr. Kevin Gardner to find beneficial uses for stabilized contaminated sediment.

Associate Professor of Civil Engineering

Dr. Gardner is a registered professional environmental engineer and an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering. He is the Director of the Environmental Research Group at UNH, an applied environmental science and engineering research center comprised of seven sub-centers: the Recycled Materials Resource Center, the Bedrock Bioremediation Center, the Water Treatment Technology Assistance Center, the UNH Contaminated Sediments Center, the UNH Stormwater Center, the Coastal Response Research Center, and the Electro-Technology Research Group. Dr. Gardner received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Union College in 1989 and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Clarkson University in Environmental Engineering in 1992 and 1996, respectively. Before coming to UNH in 1999, Dr. Gardner was the George B. Mayer Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Gardner teaches courses related to aqueous chemistry, co-instructs the environmental engineering senior design project, and is developing a new course on contaminant fate and transport to be taught in Spring 2004 for the first time. He is also the Director of the UNH Contaminated Sediments Center and the advisor to the UNH Chapter of Engineers Without Borders. Dr. Gardner's research focus includes behavior of contaminants in sediment environments, remediation of contaminated sediments, beneficial use of contaminated dredged material, leaching of trace elements from recycled materials, and colloidal behavior and contaminant transport in the environment.
