Ronald W. Falta

Ronald W. Falta is a Professor in Clemson University's Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Science. He holds a PhD in Mineral Engineering from UC Berkeley and conducts research on contaminant transport, multiphase flow, and environmental remediation technologies including thermal treatment and CO2 sequestration.

His work develops predictive models for groundwater remediation, with applications to chlorinated solvent plumes, matrix diffusion, and fractured rock systems. Recent publications address biodegradation kinetics, thermal remediation efficiency, and geological carbon storage impacts.

Dr. Falta maintains extensive consulting work for government agencies and industry, focusing on site remediation strategies. He has developed widely-used simulation tools including REMChlor for remediation evaluation.
