Professor Cherry holds geological engineering degrees from the University of Saskatchewan and the University of California, Berkley and a Ph.D. in hydrogeology from the University of Illinois. He was a faculty member at the University of Manitoba for four years before joining the faculty at the University of Waterloo in 1971 where his research focuses on field studies of the migration and fate of contaminants in groundwater and groundwater remediation. He co-authored the textbook "Ground Water" with R.A. Freeze (1979) and co-edited and co-authored several chapters in the book "Dense Chlorinated Solvents and Other DNAPLs in Groundwater" (1996). In addition to research concerning subsurface contaminant behaviour, he has participated in development of several technologies for groundwater monitoring and remediation and co-holds several patents. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and has received awards for groundwater contamination research from scientific and engineering societies in Canada, the United States and the U.K. He held the Research Chair in Contaminant Hydrogeology at the University of Waterloo (1996-2006) and is currently the Director of the University Consortium for Field-Focused Groundwater Contamination Research, established in 1988.
