The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

Contaminants' fate and transport in the environment involve their movement and transformation through air, water, and soil. Factors such as chemical properties, environmental conditions, and ...

Research into contaminant transport in low permeability zones (LPZs) has significantly advanced our understanding of groundwater pollution persistence and remediation challenges. In heterogeneous ...

Applied aspects of subsurface properties and their impact on flow, and transport including: Darcy's law, parameter determination, aquifer test analysis, geotechnical parameters, contaminant transport, ...

Reactive transport in heterogeneous porous media examines the interplay between fluid flow, chemical reactions and physical structure within naturally variable subsurface environments. This field ...
