NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) - Progress in Research Webinars
Biogeochemical Interactions in Remediation Webinars
April 11, May 13 and May 20, 2019
The NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) invites you to join us for our next Progress in Research webinar series “Biogeochemical Interactions Affecting Bioavailability for in situ Remediation,” April 22, May 13, and May 20. This series will feature work from SRP Individual Research Projects, problem-solving grants focusing on the mechanisms of biogeochemical interactions impacting remediation of contaminated sediment, surface water, and groundwater. By understanding these complex interactions, we are better equipped to optimize remediation strategies and, therefore, improve science-based decision making for site management, priority-setting, and remedy selection. This series will share the results from these research projects.
The webinars are free and open to the public. More information and links to register are also available on the SRP Progress in Research website.
Session I – Innovative Approaches for Chlorinated Compound Bioremediation in Groundwater
April 22, 2019 • 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT
Session I Registration
In session 1, we will hear from SRP-funded individual research projects at Johns Hopkins University, University of Tennessee, and University of California, Berkeley. The first session will also include a brief series introduction, highlighting the cohort of awardees funded under “Biogeochemical Interactions Affecting Bioavailability for in situ Remediation of Hazardous Substances (R01).”
Session II – Bioavailability of Mixtures of PAHs, Chlorinated Compounds, and Metals
May 13, 2019 • 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT
Session II Registration
In session 2, we will hear from SRP-funded individual research project grantees at Virginia Institute of Marine Science, University of California, Riverside, and Colorado School of Mines. These investigators are focusing on mixtures of aged, legacy contaminants (PAHS; DDT & PCBs; and metals, respectively) and will share results of how biogeochemical interactions impact uptake of contaminants into the food chain at several Superfund sites.
Session III – Mercury Bioremediation and Biotransformation Under Varying Biogeochemical Conditions
May 20, 2019 • 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT
Session III Registration
In session 3, we will hear from SRP-funded individual research project grantees at Duke University and University of Maryland-Baltimore County. These investigators are conducting mechanistic laboratory studies to understand how varying site conditions might impact microbiological processes and, in turn, shift the direction of bioremediation in sediments.
