The Center for Environmental Kinetics Analysis (CEKA) is an initiative to catalyze a deeper understanding of molecular issues related to environmental chemical kinetics, especially as related to geochemical cycling of elements, fate and transport of contaminants, and carbon sequestration within the critical zone. Our Center will integrate a collaborative community of students, scientists, and engineers drawn from academia, government, and industry to study environmental chemical kinetics and scaling issues in a coherent and integrative framework wherein experimental and theoretical advances can be accomplished with an eye toward better understanding of dynamic natural systems.

CEKA is a joint research and education initiative of the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Penn State.
