Beth Parker is a Professor at the School of Engineering and Director of the G360 Centre for Applied Groundwater Research at the University of Guelph. She has more than 30 years of experience investigating subsurface contamination at numerous sites around the world using high resolution data sets for site conceptual model development and testing. Her current research activities emphasize developing improved field and laboratory methods for characterizations and monitoring of industrial contaminants in sedimentary rocks, clayey deposits, and sandy aquifers, and focus on the effects of diffusion in low permeability zones, plume attenuation, and hydrogeologic controls on remediation. Parker is currently involved in research and technology demonstration projects at Superfund and RCRA facilities in the United States and similar sites in Canada, Europe, and Brazil.
