Helmut Kobus Book order

The complex topic of in-situ subsurface remediation technologies was addressed at an international symposium at the Universitat Stuttgart on September 26 and 27, 1995, coinciding with the inauguration of the VEGAS research facility. This book compiles 22 contributions from leading experts in Europe and North America, highlighting the significance of large-scale experiments in groundwater and subsurface remediation research. It explores the connections between conventional laboratory experiments, technology-scale experiments, and field-site studies, emphasizing how large-scale experiments help bridge the gap between small-scale investigations and extensive field studies (upscaling). The interdisciplinary nature of these challenges necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together various disciplines involved in subsurface flow and transport, including hydraulics, hydrology, chemistry, microbiology, geology, engineering, mathematics, and hydroinformatics. The individual contributions provide diverse perspectives on the complex issues of subsurface remediation, focusing on research approaches and strategies for developing new technologies and the importance of large-scale experiments in both research and application.
