Persistence and Recovery of Organic Contaminants from Soils

Through laboratory experimentation and computer modeling we are seeking to explore the initial entrapment and treatment of soils contaminated by organic chemicals.  We are investigating the performance of innovative technologies and the difficulties posed by natural variations in soil and contaminant properties.

 

Student Tasks and Responsibilities: Students will be involved in all aspects of experiments, including apparatus design and construction, observation, documentation and data analysis.  Participation in weekly research group meetings will be encouraged.
