The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $272,578 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to Oregon State University (OSU) to investigate and quantify the effects of unsaturated conditions on solute transport, mixing, and chemical reactions in subsurface hydrologic systems. The project will leverage novel experimental imaging techniques and numerical simulations to study how variations in water content and porous media characteristics influence these critical processes. The research aims to provide a robust scientific foundation to support improved water resource management and sustainability, while also facilitating educational and training opportunities for students and public outreach initiatives. The project period spans from July 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027.
