Specific
interests:
1.
Prospecting for primary gold deposits associated with igneous bodies using
the variations of trace gold concentrations in
the minerals of the rock bodies.
2.
Variations of heavy metal concentrations in drainage sediments of streams
affected by point and non-point emission
sources (activities related to mining, landfills,
and waste water treatment plant facilities).
3. Radon Concentrations in soils and the effects of using lawn
fertilizers.
