The work of professor Bordeleau revolves around groundwater geochemistry, with a strong focus on isotopic geochemistry. Whether it is used to understand regional-scale groundwater flow, to track contaminants in groundwater and surface water, or to help in developing remediation methods, isotopic geochemistry allows providing concrete answers to complex environmental problems. Professor Bordeleau uses her expertise to characterize groundwater and drinking water quality in both pristine and disturbed environments, striving towards better protection of this precious resource.
