Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physics, biology, and geography (including ecology, chemistry, plant science, zoology, mineralogy, oceanography, limnology, soil science, geology and physical geograp ...
at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1985 and a
Ph.D. in environmental chemistry from the
University of California, Davis in 1993. Prior to joining SFSU he was a Postdocoral Scientist at the
USDA U.S. Salinity Laboratory in Riverside CA and the University of California, Riverside. Professor Manning has been a pioneer in applying X-ray techniques such as X-ray diffraction, fluorescence, and absorption spectroscopy to environmental chemistry problems and materials chemical research. Professor Manning's research interests include
soil chemistry,
surface analysis,
mineralogy
Mineralogy is a subject of geology specializing in the scientific study of the chemistry, crystal structure, and physical (including optical) properties of minerals and mineralized artifacts. Specific studies within mineralogy include the proces ...
