Impact/Purpose:

Research is being conducted to improve and evaluate the resolution of the CR, EM, seismic, and GPR methods over complex geological formations (such as fractured geologies) and to evaluate the capability of these geophysical methods to delineate subsurface organic contaminants.

Description:

Results suggest that geophysical measurements may be used to infer the rate of change of biodegradation and alteration of the subsurface hydrocarbon impacted media.
