Daniel S. Alessi is a Professor and the Encana Chair in Water Resources in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta, who specializes in environmental geochemistry and geomicrobiology. Since 2013, his research group has focused on understanding the surface chemistry and reactivity of environmental materials such as iron oxides, bacteria, and biochar, on lithium extraction from oilfield brines, and on improving our knowledge of the water cycle in unconventional oil and gas operations. In 2022 he was elected a member of the College of New Scholars, Artists, and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada, and in 2023 he was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He is an associate editor for the journal Environmental Science & Technology. FES Funded ProjectsOutputs
