Toxic organic contaminants may enter the subsurface as slightly soluble and volatile
nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) or as dissolved solutes resulting in contaminant plumes …

Uncertainty plagues every effort to model subsurface processes and every decision made
on the basis of such models. Given this pervasive uncertainty, virtually all practical problems …

Sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep saline aquifers has emerged as an option for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. The large amounts of supercritical …

Leakage of CO2 and associated gases into overlying aquifers as a result of geologic carbon
capture and sequestration may have adverse impacts on aquifer drinking-water quality. Gas …

The dynamics of solute dispersion and mixing in unsaturated flows is analyzed from
photobleaching experiments in two‐dimensional porous micromodels. This technique …

The injection of supercritical CO 2 in deep saline aquifers leads to the formation of a CO 2
plume that tends to float above the formation brine. As pressure builds up, CO 2 properties …

A probabilistic method is proposed for conducting groundwater-related hazard assessments
that are useful for the risk management of deep excavations in saturated soils in urban …

We study solute transport in a periodic channel with a sinusoidal wavy boundary when
inertial flow effects are sufficiently large to be important, but do not give rise to turbulence …

Almost 95% of the available freshwater present on our planet is contained in aquifer
systems. Groundwater resources are, however, extremely vulnerable to natural and …

In recent years, the application of risk analysis to inform dam safety governance has
increased significantly. In this framework, considering explicitly and independently both …
