James Moberly

James Moberly is an Associate Professor in the Chemical & Biological Engineering Department at the University of Idaho's College of Engineering. His research focuses on environmental geochemistry, water quality remediation, and metal transport dynamics in contaminated ecosystems through laboratory and field investigations.

Education:

• PhD - Montana State University
• MS - Washington State University
• BS - University of Idaho

Research interests encompass acid rock drainage mitigation, heavy metal speciation, passive treatment systems, and biogeochemical processes in mining-impacted environments. Work integrates field sampling with experimental geochemistry to develop remediation strategies.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in contaminant mobility studies, coordination chemistry applications for environmental engineering, and groundwater monitoring techniques. Research consistently bridges fundamental chemistry with practical environmental solutions.

Moberly contributes to National Academies initiatives on water quality management, including service on 'The Future of Water Quality in Coeur d'Alene Lake' committee. His laboratory develops novel approaches for metal recovery and water treatment.

No major scientific awards are documented. Research is supported by grants including studies on sediment geochemistry funded by the National Science Foundation.
