Shane D. Whitacre

Shane D. Whitacre works in environmental science, focusing on heavy metals in soils and contaminated environments, especially arsenic. His research examines how to measure and predict the bioavailability (the degree to which a substance can be absorbed by living organisms) and bioaccessibility (how much of a contaminant is available for uptake) of arsenic in contaminated soils, which is relevant to assessing human health risks and guiding environmental remediation.

Publication output has been low and irregular over the last decade, with several gap years followed by a modest, steady output of about 1-2 papers per year in recent years.
