Welcome to the homepage of Dr. Jennifer McIntosh’s Aqueous Geochemistry and Hydrogeology research group at the University of Arizona (Department of Hydrology and Water Resources). Our research primarily focuses on the elemental and isotopic chemistry of surface waters, groundwaters, saline fluids, and natural gas to better constrain the sources of solutes, residence times and flow paths of fluids and gas in the subsurface, and water-rock-microbial interactions. This research involves extensive field sampling, laboratory analyses, and geochemical and hydrologic modeling. STUDENT RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES: Dr. McIntosh is looking for a new Ph.D. or M.S. student to start in January, summer or Fall 2010 to work on a recently funded project in the Williston Basin investigating the hydrologic and geochemical controls on microbial methane generation. Please contact her asap via email if you are interested in applying to our program & working in her research group. Dr. McIntosh is also looking for new Ph.D. students or Postdocs to participate in the recently funded NSF Critical Zone Observatory. See the EOS add for more information.
