This symposium will highlight recent developments in the general area of aquatic redox chemistry. Major areas of interest will include interactions between iron, natural organic matter (NOM), and contaminants. Specific topics of interest include—but are not limited to—the interplay between biotic and abiotic redox processes, speciation and redox reactions of iron, structure and reactivity of NOM as a redox shuttle, and redox reactions that contribute to the fate of organics (e.g., pesticides and nitro aromatic model compounds) and metals (e.g., arsenic). The symposium is timed to celebrate the diversity of contributions that Prof. Macalady has made to many of these topics. Both invited and contributed papers are planned.
