Research Overview
Dr. Jambeck's research interests include contaminant fate and transport
related to waste beneficial use, chemical fate and biological processes
within disposal systems, sustainable and innovative waste management
practices, life-cycle approaches to waste management, marine debris,
and in-situ treatment of contaminated sediments. She has worked on specific
research projects involving construction and demolition debris, wallboard,
chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood, abrasive blasting media,
mining waste and bioreactor landfills.
