James Landmeyer
Jim Landmeyer is a Research Hydrologist with the South Atlantic Water Science Center.
Jim Landmeyer has been a research hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, South Atlantic Water Science Center, since 1990. Landmeyer received his B.S. from Allegheny College in 1989, and his M.S. and PhD. from the University of South Carolina in 1991 and 1995, respectively. He has been the author or co-author of more than 90 peer-reviewed publications, and in 2011 authored the textbook "Introduction to Phytoremediation of Contaminated Groundwater". His research interests include the interaction between plants, microbes, and pristine and contaminated groundwater and surface-water systems in the United States and other countries.

Science and Products
Introduction to phytoremediation of contaminated groundwater
This book provides the reader with the comprehensive view necessary to understand and critically evaluate the design, implementation, and monitoring of phytoremediation at sites characterized by contaminated groundwater. Part I presents the historical foundation of the interaction between plants and groundwater, introduces fundamental groundwater concepts for plant physiologists, and introduces ba
