[1] Joe Ryan is a professor of environmental engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he has been teaching and conducting research since 1993.  He holds a B.S. degree in geological engineering from Princeton and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in civil and environmental engineering from MIT.  His emphasis in teaching and research is on the transport and ultimate fate of contaminants in natural waters.  He studies the role of organic matter in the speciation of trace metals in water, and the transport of microbes in subsurface waters.  He gravitates toward "real' problems, such as Rocky Flats plutonium, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that oil spills release, mercury in the Everglades, microbes in groundwater, erosion caused by off-road vehicles at James Creek, and metals draining out of abandoned mines in the Lefthand Creek watershed.
