معرفی
Charles W. Lindau is a Professor in the Department of Oceanography & Coastal Sciences at Louisiana State University. He holds a B.S. from Kearney State College (1969), M.S. from Texas A&M University (1974), and Ph.D. from Texas A&M University (1980). His research focuses on biogeochemical processes in aquatic environments with particular expertise in nitrogen transformations, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution remediation.
Research interests center on environmental chemistry of wetlands, including:
- Nitrogen cycling in flooded ecosystems
- Stable isotope applications in environmental science
- Oil spill impacts and mitigation strategies
- Agricultural non-point source pollution
His publications predominantly investigate carbon and nitrogen dynamics in coastal systems, with recent work examining denitrification processes in cypress swamps and methane emissions from rice cultivation. The research demonstrates consistent focus on human impacts on aquatic biogeochemistry and practical remediation approaches.
Dr. Lindau has led significant research projects including:
- USGS-funded studies on water quality restoration in the Atchafalaya Basin
- LDEQ-sponsored soybean BMP demonstration projects
