Bart Faulkner is a Hydrologist in the US EPA Office of Research and Development, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, Ground Water and Ecosystems Restoration Division. Previous research included modeling and laboratory experiments for predicting risk of pathogen transport in soils and sediments. Current research is focused on field data collection and modeling groundwater dependency of ecosystem services, and on water quality assessment and evaluation under uncertainty.
