Prof Celia's areas of research include ground water hydrology, ecohydrology, numerical modeling, contaminant transport simulation, and multiphase flow physics. Ongoing projects include pore-scale
network modeling to study interface dynamics, reactive transport, and scaling in porous media systems; computational studies of plant responses to variations in soil moisture in water-stressed
ecosystems, with a focus on applications in sub-Saharan Africa; and studies associated with large-scale injection of CO_2 into deep brine formations as a possible mitigation strategy for the
atmospheric carbon problem. The carbon work is part of a large multidisciplinary effort at Princeton known as the Carbon Mitigation Initiative. Celia is chair of the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering at Princeton University and served for 10 years as editor of the journal /Advances in Water Resources/. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and recipient of the
2005 AGU Hydrologic Sciences Award. Please visit http://www.ngwa.org/ngwref/darcy/current.aspx for more information on his Darcy Lecture.
