Dr. Jerry Schnoor, Iowa Superfund Research Program Project 5 leader, was honored at the American Chemical Society Annual Meeting in Orlando on April 2-3.

Schnoor was honored for having had a profound impact on the field through leadership in environmental chemistry and modeling, shaping policy, and impacting our educational approaches to our most pressing environmental and health challenges. His contributions have been impactful in many areas of our field, including groundwater modeling and remediation, air pollution issues and climate change.

Topics covered in the two-day tribute to Jerry Schnoor included, but were not limited to, air modeling--chemistry and exposure; environmental modeling, pollutant transport; phytoremediation--plant-mediated chemistry; and nanoparticle environmental transport and fate. Presenters came from many different universities from across the country and included ISRP Director Dr. Keri Hornbuckle and Project 5 researchers Dr. Tim Mattes from the University of Iowa and Dr. Benoit Van Aken from George Mason University.
