Elsevier Advances in Remediation Techniques for Polluted Soils and Groundwater

Product Description Advances in Remediation Techniques for Polluted Soils and Groundwater focuses on the thematic areas for assessment, mitigation, and management of polluted sites. This book covers advances in modelling approaches, including Machine Learning (ML)/ Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications; GIS and remote sensing; sensors; impacts of climate change on geogenic contaminants; and socio-economic impacts in the poor rural and urban areas, which are lacking in a more comprehensive manner in the previous titles. This book encompasses updated information as well as future directions for researchers working in the field of management and remediation of polluted sites. Review Offers a substantial contribution to solve the problems of chemical contamination due to geogenic, industrial, and emerging pollution of soil/water and describes how assessment tools, water quality modeling, and modeling can be successfully applied for the remediation of polluted sites From the Back Cover <i>Advances in Remediation Techniques for Polluted Soils and Groundwater</i> focuses on the thematic areas for assessment, mitigation, and management of polluted sites.

About the Author Dr. Pankaj Kumar Gupta is a post-doctoral fellow in the faculty of environment, University of Waterloo since Dec., 2018. His current research is focussed on investigating the behavior of pollutants in peatlands (Canada) and mineral aquifers (India) under dynamically fluctuating groundwater table conditions. Majority of his works focus on two areas: (1) understanding the occurrence of bio-geo-chemical interactions when pollutants migrate into groundwater systems; and (2) developing remediation strategies. He received Ph.D. from Department of Hydrology, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee on title “Fate and Transport of LNAPL under varying subsurface conditions. He has been qualified National Eligibility Test (NET-Dec 2013) with Junior research fellowship conducted by University Grant Commission (UGC), Government of India. He has also qualified Agricultural Scientist Recruitments Boards NET in Environmental Sciences (2014). He is an awardee of AGU Student Travel Grant (2017), JPGU Travel Grant (2018), EXCEED-SWINDON & DAAD Germany Grant (2018). He serves as an editorial board member for SN Applied Sciences. He has published ~10 research papers, ~15 book chapters, 2 popular science articles. He reviewed several research articles for reputed journals including RSC Advances, Groundwater for Sustainable Development, ASCE JEE, ASCE Irrigation and Drainage, Env. Sc, Pollution Research, Ecohydrology, J. of Contaminant Hydrology etc. He will be serving as a convener for the session “GH027-Water is life: Understanding Geogenic Groundwater Contamination and Improving Public Health through Assessment, Water Quality Modeling, and Water Supply Management in forthcoming AGU Fall Meeting 2019. He has performed many site restoration and remediation consultancy projects at industrial polluted sites in India. Dr Basant Yadav Ph.D. (Civil Engineering), is a postdoctoral fellow in Water Science Institute of Cranfield University (UK), working on groundwater quality and quantity management. Specific focus of Dr Yadav’s research includes flow and transport processes in ground water and in the vadose zone; hydroinformatics; managed aquifer recharge. Dr. Yadav's research emphasizes the Integration of Experimental, Numerical and data based modeling a
