Abstract:
The extensive use of heavy metals in prior industrial/military operations has resulted in numerous sites with soil/groundwater contamination. Phytoremediation research has shown that plants can successfully uptake heavy metals from contaminated sites. Recent research on phytoremediation of heavy… More
65456 A comprehensive carbon sequestration program includes maximizing the carbon sink potential of the terrestrial ecosystem. This can be achieved by (1) establishing sustainable vegetation on arid or damaged land and (2) expanding the carbon sequestration into deeper soil strata. However,… More
65456 This project will develop the information required to promote tree planting systems that encourage deep rooting, thus enhancing carbon sequestration and providing other benefits to the environment. Phase I collected root mass data (and thus carbon) in the subsoil of 3 to 10 year old trees… More

76048-Storage tanks of contaminated mixtures exist at many DOE sites. However, very few inexpensive technologies are available for determining the contents of the tank waste or for monitoring the chemistry of tank constituents in near-real time. This project addresses this problem by developing… More
