Physical Scientist Andrew Collins, of the USGS New England Water Science Center, presents his research on PFAS contamination in coastal kettle lake and bog systems at AGU24. Collins uses multiscale groundwater-flow modeling to see how flow paths influence the distribution of PFAS contaminants.

Elizabeth Mine was a copper mine in Strafford, Vermont, that was abandoned in 1957. It was added to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Program’s National Priority List in 2001. Since then, EPA and USGS have cooperated to investigate the nature and extent of contamination from weathering of waste rock rich in metals and sulfides.
