About
Aziz Amoozegar is a Professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences at NC State University, located in Williams Hall. His research interests include the movement of water and pollutants from municipal and agricultural wastes through soils and their underlying strata, the fate and transport of phosphorus in soil, and the characterization of soil materials for agricultural, environmental, and engineering purposes. His research programs focus on evaluating soil water and pollutant movement through soil and saprolite, assessing the fate and transport of phosphorus from fertilizers with and without fertilizer enhancers, and developing techniques for determining soil physical properties related to waste management, engineering, and agricultural practices.

articleManganese (Mn) contamination of well water is recognized as an environmental health concern. In the southeastern Piedmont region of the United States, well water Mn concentrations can be >2 orders of magnitude above health limits, but the specific sources and causes of elevated Mn in groundwater are generally unknown. Here, using field, laboratory, spectroscopic, and geospatial analyses, we propose that natural pedogenetic and hydrogeochemical processes couple to export Mn from the near-surface…
