Matt Reeves

Dr. Reeves’ research involves applied and theoretical investigations of fluid flow, heat and solute transport in various types of porous media, with a specialty in fractured rock systems. His research has been applied to various problems, including assessing climate change impacts on water resources, environmental fate and transport of contaminants such as nitrate, per and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), radionuclides, and road salts, geological waste disposal, geothermal energy,  hydrogeologic characterization, and surface water - ground water interaction.
