Geochemical impact of AMD from abandoned mines on soil, water and sediment in watersheds in the NY-NJ Highlands. Focus: seasonal variations in metal concentrations in surface water and sediment; origin, mineralogy, and sinks for trace metal contaminants and AMD; source of acidity; major sorbent of contaminants in soil; geophysical techniques to map contaminant distribution; environmental implications.
