As the incidence of groundwater contamination continues to grow, a number of inverse
modeling methods have been developed to address forensic groundwater problems. In this …

A multitude of forensic techniques are available for age dating and source identification,
including aerial photography interpretation, corrosion models, the commercial availability of …

When an inverse problem is solved to estimate an unknown function such as the hydraulic
conductivity in an aquifer or the contamination history at a site, one constraint is that the …

Proper identification of groundwater contaminant sources is vital to assess groundwater
contamination. However, the majority of previous studies focuses on point source …

Groundwater pollution occurs from different anthropogenic sources like leakage from
Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and depositories, leakage from hazardous waste dump …

When abnormally high concentration of a pollutant is observed in the ocean, it is very
important to search for leakage positions and fluxes of the pollutant. To reduce time and …

Recovering the origin of an incident after detection of a polluting substance in the
environment is crucial to start the remediation procedures. The lack of observations, the …

A theoretical framework is presented that allows direct identification of a single point-source
pollution location and time in heterogeneous multidimensional systems under known flow …

A multitude of forensic techniques are available for age dating and source identification,
including corrosion models for underground storage tanks, the commercial availability of a …

To mitigate global warming, the large volume of CO 2 released into the atmosphere must be
reduced. CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) are promising means for this. In addition, CCS …
