PLFA analysis has become a popular method for characterizing microbial communities in soil, water, and other environmental samples. ...
Topics Include: Design and implementation of in situ remediation options including injection, fracturing, shallow soil mixing and thermal. The specialized equipment utilized to deliver liquid and solid amendments into soil and groundwater contamination. The upfront characterization required to support a successful ...
Geochemical Considerations on the Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Canal Sediments Britain’s canal network was instrumental in the rapid explosion of the industrial revolution in the late 18thcentury, allowing efficient transportation of coal and iron to industrial centres and of products to market. The canal network began to diminish in importance with the advent of rail transportation in the ...
Cost savings through the use of Mobile Soil Washing Installations Baioni was contracted by an Italian waste and recycling operator to design and implement soil washing cleanup of various contaminated soils to be treated on a huge process platform. ...
A new study published in the Soil Science Society of America Journal investigated the field performance of 5 soil moisture instruments in heavy clay soils in the RISMA network. The HydraProbe outperformed TDR and capacitance-based soil sensors in terms of stability and accuracy in Manitoba’s agricultural ...
In the study, Toor and Sims characterized the effect of soil properties and saturation on phosphorus leaching from three soil series in Delaware and Maryland. Researchers collected 18 soil columns using a tractor- mounted device from three soils that varied in their drainage characteristics. ...
Silixa will be presenting at AGU’s Fall Meeting in San Francisco, California, USA on 17 and 18 December, 2015. The first presentation, entitled Challenges in Ecohydrological Monitoring at Soil-Vegetation Interfaces: Exploiting the Potential for Fibre Optic Technologies, will detail the methodological background to a DTS based soil moisture monitoring project carried out in the United ...
Geovariances has been participating for many years in international working groups from EOCD, IAEA, the European NICOLE or the French Cetama, which deal with both radiological and chemical characterization. As a result, several organizations now recommend geostatistics as a solution in the characterization of contaminated sites. ...
After several technical exchanges between NUVIA Process and Geovariances about the use of geostatistics for radiologically contaminated soil characterization, a guided evaluation was conducted to try Kartotrak on a real dataset. ...
To evaluate the pollution impact, such characterization is usually based on various data that should be interpreted and analyzed with an estimation of related uncertainties. ...
Soil experts from Cranfield University have developed a replica soil for Mars in a project for the European Space Agency (ESA) to help maximise the performance of the next robotic rovers to be sent to the planet. The ‘soil surrogate’ is one of a number of soil types characterized by the current NASA ...
Services provided included environmental site investigation, soil pre-characterization, value engineering of the foundation system, design of deep drilled shafts for the top down construction scheme, and field oversight during foundation construction. ...
Implementation of these field investigations will result in additional data that will reduce uncertainties associated with three elements of the soil cleanup plan: (1) the dewatering rate for the deeper excavation cells at the Mill Street Area; (2) side-wall verification sampling along the proposed vertical excavation supports at the Elm Street Area; and (3) soil ...
DTD recently completed a directional sampling project to characterize soil at a Superfund site in eastern Washington state. One interesting development in the project has taken advantage of the extreme flexibility of directional drilling to back up and change the path of a bore during advancement. ...
Escobar has over 15 years of experience designing and managing soil and groundwater investigations, site characterizations, and complex remediation projects, including sites in hard rock and porous media-flow aquifers. ...
Any of the excavated soil or materials that are characterized as hazardous waste will be shipped off-site for proper disposal. ...
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced that it has finalized the steps it will take to clean up the Ellenville Scrap Iron and Metal Superfund site in the Village of Ellenville, N.Y. in Ulster County. EPA will excavate contaminated soil from six different areas at the site, consolidate the soil on the landfill portion of the site and then securely ...
He is a Fellow of SSSA and ASA. The Don and Betty Kirkham Soil Physics Award recognizes mid-career soil scientists who have made outstanding contributions in the area of soil physics. ...
Emphasizing cross-disciplinary concepts in teaching soil science courses, such as mass-volume relationships, can help undergraduates learn real-world, problem-solving skills that are crucial to their success in soil science careers. ...
Of the ice-free ground, only 0.3% is available for soils to form. Currently there are seven soil climate stations in Antarctica, which monitor a range of ambient atmospheric parameters, and soil moisture and temperature. ...
