Drs. Green, Christian, Bouldin, and Hannigan get NSF grant
Dr. Steven Green, Soil and Water Conservation, Dr. Alan
Christian, Zoology, Dr. Jennifer Bouldin, Ecotoxicology,
and Dr. Robyn Hannigan, Geochemistry, were awarded a $190,835
National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation grant.
Collaborators on the grant include Dr. Ben Rougeau,
Chemistry, and Dr. Bill Baker, Plant Science. This grant
facilitates the establishment of a new Biogeochemical Analysis
Laboratory in the Agriculture Building. Grant funds will
purchase three major analytical instruments: a carbon, nitrogen, and
sulfur analyzer for solids; a dissolved carbon and nitrogen analyzer
for liquid solutions; and a wet chemistries autoanalyzer. These
instruments will be used in conducting four interdisciplinary
research projects in biology, geochemistry, and agriculture. This
grant will also be used for undergraduate and graduate teaching
laboratories in the departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry
and Physics, the College of Agriculture, and the Environmental
Sciences graduate program.
Spanish and Latino Heritage
Week is Sept. 17-21
The Student Activities Board is sponsoring Spanish
and Latino Heritage Week this week, Sept. 17-21. For details, see
the NewsPage release.
Forensics faculty contribute items to textbook
Several ASU faculty members have contributed to a recently
published textbook, James Girard's "Criminalistics: Forensic Science
and Crime." Contributors include Dr. Maureen Dolan, Dr. Carolyn
Dowling, Dr. Robyn Hannigan, Dr. Tanja McKay, and
Dr. Kelly Redeker.
Previous editions of this text have been the top-selling textbook
for introductory forensic science courses in the U.S. This latest
edition, featuring ASU faculty, has been redesigned to link
techniques with real-world applications.
Dr. Hannigan edits book on
environmental chemistry
Dr. Robyn Hannigan, Judd Hill Chair of Environmental
Sciences, edited the
 recently published
"Concepts and Applications in
Environmental Chemistry," with co-editors Dr. Dibyendu Sarkar and
Dr. Rupali Datta. The
book includes chapters written by the editors as well as by ASU
environmental sciences graduate students and authors from across the
globe. Published by Elsevier, it is the fifth
volume in the Developments in Environmental Science series. The book is a reference for professionals and a
graduate-level textbook for environmental chemistry and low
temperature geochemistry.
Dr. Ogendi publishes
two chapters in textbook
Dr. George Ogendi,
Environmental Geology, is the author of two chapte rs
in "Concepts and Applications in
Environmental Chemistry," co-edited by Dr. Dibyendu Sarkar, Dr.
Rupali Datta, and Dr. Robyn Hannigan. Dr. Ogendi wrote the
book's first chapter, "Association of dissolved organic carbon with
stream discharge and dissolved metals concentrations in black
shale-draining streams," with Dr. Hannigan and Dr. Jerry Farris,
Environmental Biology. Dr. Ogendi also co-authored
"Black shale weathering contribution to stream chemistry using
end-member mixing analysis," with lead author Leonette Cox, a
doctoral student in environmental sciences.
