This will be a
methods-based presentation focusing on new technology for
acquiring
information about hydraulic conductivity at scales of
relevance for
investigations of ground water contamination. Better
information on
hydraulic conductivity improves both the accuracy of
contaminant-transport
predictions and the effectiveness of remediation
systems. The
lecture will describe the major elements of this new
technology and
present a demonstration of its potential using results
from an
extensively studied unconsolidated aquifer.
