Integration of microbial, stable isotope, and modeling tools to identify natural and enhanced pollutant bioattenuation processes at complex contaminated sites

The project will significantly advance and integrate three sophisticated contaminated site characterization tools: stable isotope analysis, microbial community profiles, and 3D reactive transport modeling. These three tools will be applied to a series of poorly studied semi volatile compounds, including (di)chloronitrobenzenes and (di)chloroanilines, and incorporated in a conceptual site model along with concentration profiles and […]
