HOMEPAGE
Dr. Ratliff's interests
include atomic and molecular spectroscopic analyses in addition to
studies of phytoremediation using both land and aquatic plants with
current focus on removal of aluminum and lead contaminants. Projects
have been funded by the Center for Reservoir Research (CRR) and the
MSU Committee for Institutional Studies and Research (CISR).
