Charles J. Paradis

Dr. Charles (Charlie) J. Paradis is an Assistant Professor of Physical Hydrogeology in the Department of Geosciences at UW-Milwaukee.  Charlie's research focuses on the fate, transport, and remediation of contaminants in groundwater.   He uses a variety of observational, experimental (added tracer tests), and modeling methods to better understand how contaminants, like uranium and road salt, move and react in the subsurface.  Charlie also teaches courses in physical hydrogeology, field methods, and numerical modeling.
