Author Information

D. Kirk Nordstrom is a senior scientist of 38 years with the U.S. Geological Survey. He received a B.A. in chemistry from Southern Illinois University, a M.S. in geology from the University of Colorado, and a Ph.D. in applied earth sciences from Stanford University. He also taught for four years at the University of Virginia. Dr. Nordstrom is recognized internationally for his research on acid mine drainage, radioactive waste disposal, geothermal chemistry, arsenic geochemistry, geomicrobiology, and analytical chemistry and geochemical modeling of natural waters. David Blowes is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Waterloo, where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Groundwater Remediation. Over the past 30 years he has conducted research focused on mine-waste management and remediation. Carol Ptacek is a Professor of Geochemistry and Contaminant Hydrogeology in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. She has over 25 years of experience conducting research on geochemistry and passive remediation systems at abandoned mine sites in Canada and elsewhere in the world. A. Ian M. Ritchie B.Sc, Ph.D, is a retired Chief Research Scientist from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). At retirement he was Manager of Environmental Physics within the Environment Division of ANSTO and Project Leader of the Managing Mine Wastes Project (MMWP). In recent years, his main area of interest has been in understanding the microbial, chemical and physical mechanisms which determine the rate of oxidation of sulfides in large dumps of sulfidic material and devising ways to control the leaching of acid and salts which is a consequence of this oxidation. Heather Jamieson is a Professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Jamieson has more than 20 years of expertise is in the area of environmental geochemistry, particularly the mineralogical controls on the mobility and bioaccessibility of metals and metalloids such as arsenic, antimony, rare earth elements and lead in mine waste. She has a BSc from University of Toronto and a PhD from Queen's, both in Geology. Robert J. Bowell is a Corporate Consultant with SRK Consulting (UK) Limited. He has worked globally in mine waste management, geometallurgy and in the application of geochemistry to engineering problems over 25 years. He obtained a BSc Hons from Manchester University and a PhD from Southampton University, both in geochemistry.
