| Description: | There has been significant progress in the application of environmental remediation strategies and lessons learned for a great variety of environmental settings and contaminants. Contaminant plumes can result from atmospheric deposition on soils, plants and water bodies, or from surface or near-surface releases such as spills, leaks and accidental discharges from industrial facilities. The session will focus on accomplished or ongoing efforts to characterize, monitor, model, and remediate these contaminant plumes. In particular, presentations on environmental monitoring programs that are integrated with remediation strategies and forecasting of subsurface transport to human and environmental receptors will be encouraged. Information from confirmatory laboratory, monitoring, and analogue studies related to these remediation strategies will also be sought. Presentations on innovative hydrological, geophysical, geochemical, and microbiological approaches to characterize the contaminant plumes and to evaluate the success of remediation options will also be encouraged. The presentations will emphasize data assimilation of environmental monitoring observations at various scales, and forecasting of natural attenuation and remediation performance. |
