Dr. Jones spent the first decade of his career studying algal physiology and the effects of light on plants, especially in illucidating the early steps in the transduction of light energy to chemical energy in the green and bluegreen algae.
Since 1975 he has worked on environmental issues in hazardous-waste disposal in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Waterways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Mississippi. He has a special interest in the remediation and treatment of heavy metals in wastes and soils.
In 1986 he initiated the Environmental Training Programs, which provided recent college graduates with on-the-job training in environmental planning and regulation. The program, contracted through the Hazardous Waste Remedial Action Program at Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, has served more than 280 trainees at 32 different Department of Defense and Department of Energy installations. Trainees have worked in all areas of environmental management including site assessment, pollution prevention, permitting and compliance, and remediation.
