Prof. Bethke and his students study groundwater hydrology, including groundwater flow, mass and heat transfer, chemical reaction analysis, and reactive transport modeling. They are interested in fluid migration in sedimentary basins; environmental aspects of groundwater geochemistry and microbiology, including acid drainage from mine tailings, mobility of radioactive species near waste repositories; and the roles of microbes in controlling the chemical composition of groundwater.
