معرفی
Craig Jensen is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences at North Carolina State University (NC State). He holds a B.S. in Chemistry from Aquinas College (2017) and an M.S. in Earth Science from NC State (2020). His research focuses on groundwater contamination dynamics, particularly PFAS pollution, and utilizes dissolved gas tracers (e.g., SF₆, ¹⁴C) to study groundwater age, hydrological processes, and contaminant transport. He is affiliated with the Postdocs group within the department and is based at Jordan Hall 3145 on the NC State campus.
Jensen’s work addresses critical environmental challenges such as PFAS contamination in groundwater and streams, spatial variability in groundwater discharge, and methodological advancements in measuring gas exchange and seepage fluxes. His studies span locations in North Carolina and Nebraska, with a focus on the High Plains Aquifer and Sand Hills regions. Key methodologies include reach mass-balance approaches, automated seepage meters, and empirical transit time distribution modeling.
No scientific awards were explicitly mentioned in the provided texts. His current role as a postdoctoral scholar involves contributing to environmental hydrology research without listed advising responsibilities or grants. His research outputs emphasize predictive modeling, tracer applications, and field instrumentation to understand and mitigate contamination risks in aquatic systems.
