Notes:
LANL EES Divisionóapplied fundamental researchóenergy, environment, and national security:
- Solve complex problems of local and national importance by conducting research and development activities in the geological, geophysical, environmental, and ecological sciences
- Provide strong scientific basis for environmental activities at various complex sites where compliance is not straightforward
- Environmental Restoration Project ranges from Potential Release Sites (ɮ,100) to watershed examination
- Develop method to characterize contamination in sediments
- Understand geology and hydrology at the subsurface using geophysical, geographical, and drill information
- Characterize contaminant pathways from near surface to deep groundwatersóchemical analyses, stable isotopic analysis, tracer studies, environment geophysics, and drilling in support of human-health risk assessments
- Numerical modeling of contaminant transport at LANL and NTS
- Design and implement cleanup technologies: in situ-vitrification and passive barrier systems
