Madeline Schreiber, Ph.D.

Madeline Schreiber
Associate Professor, Geosciences
Virginia Tech University

Madeline Schreiber's research in chemical hydrogeology involves analysis and quantification of chemical and biological processes that impact contaminant transport. Over the past 10 years, Schreiber and her students have focused on biotransformation of both organic and inorganic species by subsurface microorganisms, adsorption of arsenic species (organic and inorganic) to subsurface materials, and release of trace elements from minerals during oxidative and reductive dissolution. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Institutes for Water Research, and private foundations. Schreiber received PhD and MS degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a BS degree from Yale University.
