Elliot Anderson is a postdoctoral research scholar at the Iowa Geological Survey. His research addresses one of Iowa’s biggest environmental challenges, nutrient pollution in surface water.

Under Professor Jerry Schnoor’s guidance, our group does research at IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering focused on remediating cancer-causing pollutants using nature-based techniques. Specifically, we specialize in treating contaminants with plants (phytoremediation) and microbes (bioremediation).
