2012 NGWA Ground Water Summit: Innovate and Integrate

Recent Innovations and Lessons Learned in Field-Scale Chemical Hydrogeology

Monday, May 7, 2012: 8:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m.
Terrace Room A-C (Hyatt Regency Orange County)
Field-scale experiments in contaminant hydrogeology often result in observations that lead to innovations or help direct future research. This session features speakers who can report important observations and lessons learned from field-scale and intermediate-scale experiments. They will describe innovative experiments using tracer tests, contaminant plume movement, geophysical monitoring, hydrogeological characterization, microbial processes, and modeling efforts to analyze field data. Field, laboratory, and modeling results presented should lead to new insights on field-scale chemical-hydrogeologic processes. This session is a great companion to the Lessons Learned About Contaminant Hydrogeology from Legacy Research Sites session.
