Dr. Matthew Ricker
Bloomsburg University
Research Interests: Floodplain soils, specifically storage of contaminants related to historical coal mining. We are currently investigating interactions between floodplain soils and surface water quality in central and eastern Pennsylvania.

Dr. Steven Rier
Bloomsburg University
Research Interests: Stream ecology but mainly focus on the role that microorganisms such as algae, bacteria, and fungi play in regulating stream ecosystem function and how human impacts can alter these dynamics. My lab is currently investigating how impacts such as acid mine drainage from abandoned coal mines alters stream ecosystem functions such as the decomposition of organic matter and uptake and mineralization of nitrogen and phosphorus.
