Project Number: NRMRL-10-002
Division: Land Remediation and Pollution Control
Division (LRPCD)
Branch: Environmental Stressors Management Branch
(ESMB)
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Project Title: Restoration of Brownfields and Vacant Lands
for use in Urban Green Infrastructure
Brief Description of Research Research involves the development and
application of ecological restoration techniques for
Project: degraded and/or contaminated urban lands,
within the contexts of sustainable community
revitalization, watershed and water quality
management, and the provision of ecosystem services.
Research takes into consideration scaling
factors for neighborhood, city, and regional management
objectives, linkages to ecosystem function
and endpoints, and uncertainty associated with climate
change and alternative future development
scenarios. LRPCD is collaborating with other Divisions
in NRMRL, and with local governments, parks
departments, and other agencies to develop strategies
for sustainable urban revitalization. These
strategies include pilot projects and technical
assistance, with opportunity to develop
research studies involving real-world management decisions
for sustainable revitalization of brownfields
and vacant urban lands.
Major Research Areas: Land (25%), Water Quality (50%),
Sustainability (25%).
Educational Requirements: Ph.D. or equivalent Doctoral degree in
Landscape/Restoration Ecology or Ecological Engineering or
a related field.
Specialized Training and/or Experience with ecological restoration of
degraded urban land or brownfields preferred.
