Description:
Transport and deposition of microorganisms control contaminant bioremediation and pathogen removal in aqueous subsurface environments and surface water. We seek presentations that highlight advances in theoretical, modeling, and/or experimental studies at all scales. Areas of interest are but not limited to: 1) transport and deposition behavior of bacteria, protozoans, and viruses; 2) chemotaxis; 3) biofilms in dynamic soil systems; 4) gene expression and gene transfer under dynamic conditions; and 5) predictive modeling studies for pathogen transport.
We anticipate contribution in both oral and poster formats.
