Geoenvironmental Engineering

Geoenvironmental Engineering

Geoenvironmental Engineering is a scientific field that involves rock and soil mechanics, environmental engineering, groundwater hydrology, and their impact on human health and the environment. Geoenvironmental Engineering addresses issues related to complex problems, such as containment systems (such as landfills), contaminant transport, remediation of contaminated sites, and material reuse.

Biodegradation in Municipal Solid Waste landfills

CEE 549-Geoenvironmental Engineering

Waste material is an unavoidable by-product of human activities. Economic development, urbanization and improved living standards in cities increase the quantity and complexity of generated solid wa...

Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQGs): A Review and Their Use in Practice

CEE 549-Geoenvironmental Engineering

Sediments, as this paper will explore them, are defined as free particles of soil found at the bottom of a water body, whether it be clay, sand, organic material, or silt. They originate from both e...

Investigating Soil Remediation Techniques for Military Explosive and Weapons Contaminated Sites

CEE 549-Geoenvironmental Engineering

The United States Army has estimated that over 1.2 million tons of soil across its various facilities is currently contaminated due to explosives [1]. This contamination can be found in a variety of...

Soil Remediation Techniques: Examination of In Situ Chemical Oxidation

CEE 549-Geoenvironmental Engineering

In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) is the procedure in which a chemical oxidant is introduced into the site’s subsurface with the purpose of transforming groundwater or soil pollutants into safer spe...

Monitoring of waste degradation processes for sustainable MSW landfills

CEE 549-Geoenvironmental Engineering

Across the world, the majority of MSW is landfilled, incinerated, placed in an open dump, or discarded into rivers or streets. Some cities have made enormous strides towards the ambitious goal of “z...
