معرفی
Rona Donahoe is a Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Alabama. She holds a PhD from Stanford University (1984) and a BS from the University of Missouri–Rolla (1978). Her research focuses on low-temperature aqueous geochemistry, including carbon sequestration, microbial responses to hydrocarbons, and contaminant remediation. She leads projects funded by entities such as the Department of Energy and BP.
Research interests include trace metal mobility in soils, zeolite-based treatment technologies, and geochemical processes in wetlands and estuaries. She has advised numerous students on topics such as arsenic fate in contaminated soils and microbial iron reduction impacts. Her work spans interdisciplinary collaborations in environmental science, hydrology, and energy research.
Key grants include a three-year DOE-NETL study on CO2 sequestration in the Rodessa Formation and an NSF-funded project on nutrient cycling in wetland systems. She has published extensively on arsenic remediation, coal ash utilization, and geochemical modeling in journals like Environmental Science & Technology and Applied Geochemistry.
