Research summary
AI-generated

Colin J. Whyte's research focuses on groundwater and subsurface geochemistry, particularly in areas affected by oil and gas extraction such as shale formations. His work examines water quality issues (like bromide and chloride contamination) and uses gas chemistry methods (including noble gas analysis) to study how hydrocarbons break down underground through microbial processes. This research is relevant to understanding the environmental impacts of energy resource extraction on aquifers.
