Email: ryan.mulligan@queensu.ca
About Ryan
Dr. Ryan Mulligan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Queen's University. He is a coastal engineer and oceanographer, with interests in the physical forces that cause changes to coastal regions and the ways in which coastal systems respond. He is particularly interested in surface waves, ocean currents, transport of water and sediments and contaminants, and changes in the geomorphology of the coastline and seabed and in coastal regions that are exposed to severe storms including hurricanes, with large waves and strong currents, and understanding coastal erosion and flooding. Lastly, he is interested in marine renewable energy, and impacts on the marine environment. As part of the CREATE grant, he will help to facilitate coastal environment training for students.

Dr. Kevin Mumford
Collaborator
Email: kevin.mumford@queensu.ca
About Kevin
Dr. Kevin Mumford is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Queen's University. Dr. Mumford is interested in the movement of multiple fluid phases (water, oil, gases) in porous media, and the mass transfer between those phases. These processes are relevant to many important environmental systems. Of particular interest to Dr. Mumford is how gas production and flow in the subsurface, due to both natural processes and as a result of remediation-based mechanisms, can affect the processes that control contamination and remediation. Dr. Mumford’s research uses a combination of laboratory experiments and numerical modelling to identify and quantify fundamental behaviour, and apply new insights to remediation scenarios. As part of the CREATE grant, he will help to facilitate groundwater contaminant training for students.

Email: kent.novakowski@queensu.ca
About Kent
Dr. Kent Novakowski is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Queen's University as well as the Associate Vice-Principal of Research at Queen's. Dr. Novakowski and his graduate students conduct research in the areas of fluid flow and contaminant migration in fractured rock. Recent work has focused on the field measurement and numerical simulation of aqueous phase contaminant transport in large discrete fractures which pervade the dolostones and limestones common to the sedimentary basins of North America. Dr. Novakowski also develops semi-analytical and analytical-element models for the simulation of solute transport, the interpretation of hydraulic tests, and the design of capture zones in sparsely-fractured bedrock. Recently, he has become involved in collaborative research projects that are focused on understanding sustainable water supply and regional groundwater flow in complex fractured rock environments. As part of the CREATE grant, he will help to facilitate groundwater field training for students.
