BIOGRAPHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL RESUME OF Jerald L. Schnoor, Ph.D., P.E., DEE August, 1998
TITLE: Foundation Distinguished Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering;
GENERAL: Dr. Schnoor is a chemical engineer and environmental engineering educator. His research and writings cover a wide range of environmental problems including: toxic chemical fate and transport, water quality modeling, phytoremediation, and biogeochemistry of global change. His mathematical model for acid precipitation risk assessments was one of only three applied to lakes in the eastern U.S. as a part of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program. Together with several students, Jerry Schnoor has pioneered the use of phytoremediation for cleaning hazardous waste sites. His book, Environmental Modeling, (John Wiley and Sons, 1996) has been adopted as a text by more than 50 graduate programs throughout the U.S, Europe, Asia, and South America.
