This five-year, $106,348 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance the understanding of thin-film-mediated retention and mass-transfer processes for surface-active contaminants in subsurface environments. The principal investigator and collaborators at the University of Arizona will combine thin-film theory, experimental characterization, and multiscale modeling to develop a cross-scale framework incorporating new...
This Project Grant award of $285,878 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to investigate how fractures in underground rock formations impact the movement of water, solutes, and colloids through the subsurface. The key research objectives are to: 1) Quantify flow channelization and fracture-matrix exchange in fractured rock cores using advanced imaging; 2) Measure and model differences between...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $155,247 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to conduct in situ laboratory imaging and modeling of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) transport and fate in variably saturated heterogeneous porous media from July 15, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The research aims...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,997 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to fund research aimed at advancing the use of persulfate and powdered activated carbon for in situ capture and destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminating groundwater. The 3-year project will: 1) evaluate reaction kinetics for PFAS degradation using the persulfate/activated carbon treatment process, 2)...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a three-year, $326,446 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).
