Technical Program Scope
Presentations will cover technological advances in characterization, remediation, and monitoring of soil, sediment, fractured bedrock, groundwater, air, and surface water contaminated by chlorinated solvents and other recalcitrant contaminants, such as heavy metals, propellants, explosives, PAHs, pesticides/herbicides, PCBs/dioxins/furans, perchlorate, and MTBE.
Abstracts should be submitted by July 31, 2007, to be considered for placement as platform (oral) or poster presentations. Examples of anticipated presentation topics are listed below. Note that this is not a list of sessions, nor is it a comprehensive list of topics. Abstracts are welcome on all topics relevant to the overall scope of the Conference. The list is numbered to provide an easy means of referencing these topics in the “Placement Preference” portion of the abstract submittal form.
