Dr. Bruce M. Thomson
Regents Professor of Civil
Engineering at the University of NewMexico.
Dr. Thomson has a B.S.
degree
in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Davis, CA, and
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Environmental Science and Engineering from
Rice
University, Houston, TX. He has been at the University of New Mexico
since
1978.
Dr. Thomson teaches a wide range of courses in environmental
engineering
at the senior and graduate level including physical~chemical water
treatment,
biol4gical wastewater treatment, aquatic chemistry, groundwater and
contaminant
transport modeling, and radioactive waste management. Much of this
material
has also been presented in nationally acclaimed short courses. His
research
interests focus on the chemical behavior and treatment of radioactive
and
inorganic water contaminants in both surface and ground water systems.
Current projects include work on remediation of contamination from
uranium
mining and milling activities, development of tensiometric or dry
barriers
to prevent contaminant migration through the vadose zone, and
evaluation
of groundwater contamination from on-site wastewater disposal systems.
Dr.
Thomson has consulted nationally and internationally on management of
wastes from the mining industry, radioactive and mixed wastes, and
domestic wastes.
