Philip Michael Jardine[1] (November 13, 1959 – July 9, 2014[2]) is an American soil chemist. With a Ph.D in soil chemistry/physics, Jardine went on to research for Oak Ridge National Laboratory and University of Tennessee. The scientist has written and been featured in several books focusing on soil, including Manipulation of Groundwater Colloids for Environmental Restoration and Geoenvironmental Engineering and Geotechnics. In 1996 he was elected chairman of the Soil Science Society of America, and in 1998 he won the Ten Outstanding Young Americans award for his improvments upon controlling chemical migration and monitoring contaminants at waste sites.
Education
[edit]Philip Jardine first attended college at the University of Delaware in September 1977. He graduated with a GPA of 3.50 in June 1981 with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in soil chemistry and a minor in chemistry. He obtained his Master of Science (M.S.) in soil chemistry two years later at the same college. Jardine's Ph.D. in soil chemistry/physics was earned at Virginia Tech in December 1985, graduating with a 3.76 GPA.[2]
Career
[edit]Philip Jardine was hired by Oak Ridge National Lab in 1986, basing his area focus on the movement of contaminants in rocks and soil.[3]
Jardine studied the control of these contaminants in Oak Ridge, specifically because the city along with most of East Tennessee lies within a physiographic province, governed by a Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks. The area contains tectonic fractures in the bedrock.
Continue to develop advanced research and teaching programs that enhance knowledge and prediction of geosphere dynamics as they are altered by natural and anthropogenic perturbations. These efforts focus on the integration of hydrological, geochemical, and microbiological processes that influence subsurface and surface nutrient and contaminant fate and transport in the Earth ecosystem. My current professional interests focus on the experimental and theoretical aspects of subsurface solute, colloidal, and contaminant transport at multiple scales ranging from molecular to the landscape levels for problems of global significance.
Personal life and death
[edit]Philip Jardine was born to Philip R. Jardine and Eileen Jardine on November 13, 1959 in. He had an older sister, Denise, and a younger brother, Joseph. He married Sharon Jardine in 1992 and had two children, Philip A Jardine and Meg Jardine. The couple divorced in July 2010.[4][5]
On July 9, 2014, he passed away after falling down a flight of stairs during there was a power outage.[5]
