Education

  • B.S. 1994, The Pennsylvania State University, Soil Science — Conferred with Distinction
  • M.S. 1998, The Pennsylvania State University, Soil Science (Environmental Soil Chemistry)
  • Ph.D. 2003, The Pennsylvania State University, Soil Science (Environmental Soil Chemistry)

Research

  • Goyne’s research interests revolve around soil chemical and biogeochemical investigations aimed at understanding natural and human influenced terrestrial ecosystem processes.
  • Specific examples include:
    • Studies aimed at understanding the effects of forest management and agronomic practices on soil nutrient and carbon cycling.
    • Elucidating mechanisms of natural and xenobiotic organic compound sorption to minerals, the importance of dissolved organic matter (DOM) for enhanced sorption or transport of xenobiotics, and subsequent dissolution processes that may occur after organic compound adsorption (i.e., ligand promoted dissolution).
    • Understanding the fate and transport of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in soils and subsequent effects on soil microbial communities.
    • Investigations focusing on the importance of intraparticle and interparticle porosity for sorption and preservation of natural DOM and the utility of porous materials for pollutant remediation efforts.
