H42E:
Interdisciplinary Advances in Subsurface Contaminant Transport and Remediation II


Session ID#: 10524

Session Description:
The behavior of contaminants in natural and engineered subsurface systems is an area of interdisciplinary research with important implications for academics, practitioners, and policy makers. The types of contaminants under investigation continue to increase, including inorganics, nonaqueous-phase liquids, radionuclides, nutrients, pathogens, industrial solvents, and pharmaceuticals. Innovative methods to extract, attenuate, transform, degrade, detoxify, or destroy these subsurface contaminants are currently being explored. We welcome theoretical, laboratory, field, and modeling research that advances our understanding of the processes controlling the transport, fate, and remediation of contaminants in saturated and variably saturated porous media. Contributions on related topics, such as the coupling of physical, chemical, and biological (biogeochemical) processes, the influence of heterogeneity in soil/contaminant properties, and risk prediction are also welcome. This session intends to support broad interaction across the hydrogeology community. Participation bridging traditional research areas, including groundwater, vadose-zone, groundwater-surface water interface, biology, chemistry, soil-physics, and remediation engineering is encouraged.
