Land quality management and site stewardship
Background
We are interested in new technologies and techniques that could improve how we characterise ground and groundwater. We are particularly interested in new technologies and techniques that would improve our ability to predict changes in ground and groundwater for example, migration of radionuclides, and remotely monitor any changes over long periods of time. We are also interested in new technologies and techniques for the management of our ground and groundwater such as extraction of radionuclides from groundwater or reducing the movement of radionuclides within contaminated ground.
