Soil Contamination: Advanced integrated characterisation and time-lapse Monitoring (SoilCAM)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

This project is aimed at improving current methods for monitoring contaminant distribution and biodegradation in the subsurface. Currently proven methods (based on invasive sampling of soil, soil water and gaseous phase) are unable to provide sufficiently accurate data with high enough resolution. Resulting in inability to assess of bioremediation progress and quantification of the processes invol ...
