Research Interests
Most of Garrison’s current research stems from his year at GSF, where he pioneered in the application of capillary electrophoresis (CE) to environmental problems, including the separation and fate of the enantiomers of chiral organic pollutants. The majority of his research since then relates to chiral chemistry in the environment, and involves investigations of the occurrence and transformation of chiral pollutants and their enantiomers, including chiral pesticides and PCBs, using enantiomer-selective gas and liquid chromatography and CE. In 1999, Garrison and David Lewis won the EPA Science Achievement Award in Biology and Ecology for work on the influence of environmental changes on the degradation of chiral pollutants in soils. He has also conducted research on the analysis and occurrence of perchlorate in the environment, the sorption and speciation of metals in sediments, and the phytodegradation of pesticides. He has about 50 publications in peer-reviewed journals, seven of which have won EPA awards since 1996, and many book chapters and EPA reports. He has organized symposia on chiral chemistry in the environment; lectured extensively in Europe and the USA ; and consulted on environmental pollution in Germany, the Netherlands, and Egypt . Garrison is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Environmental Engineering and Science of Clemson University.
