Bacteria co-exist with minerals in near-surface geologic systems. We are
investigating not only how bacteria influence mineralization, but also
their influence on mineral dissolution and contaminant adsorption and
transport
in the subsurface. We use a range of approaches, from wet chemistry experiments
to x-ray absorption spectroscopy to molecular dynamics modeling.
