ISSE Staff > Philip M. Jardine


Philip M. Jardine is a Research Professor with ISSE and with the University of Tennessee's (UT) Biosystems Engineering and Soil Science Department.

Dr. Jardine has over 25 years experience investigating the influence of coupled hydrological, geochemical, and microbial processes on the fate and transport of inorganic and radioactive contaminants in heterogeneous subsurface environments. He has conducted long-term research investigations of subsurface organic C sequestration, colloid fate and transport in heterogeneous subsurface environments, and toxic metal bioavailability. He specializes in multi-scale experimental and numerical quantification of nonequilibrium mass transfer processes in saturated/unsaturated fractured and laminated soils, sediments, and rock.
