"This course aims at providing a firm basis for the modelling of complex flow and transport processes in the subsurface relevant to the environmental problems in soil and groundwater. This includes transport of soluble components of organic liquids, viruses, colloids, and heat as well as basics of multiphase flow. Several important methods for remediation of soil and groundwater are discussed in detail. The students will develop the ability to set up mathematical models for quantitative description of complex subsurface transport phenomena. Through a comprehensive class project, the use of PMWIN package for modeling flow and solute transport in real-word problems will be taught.\n\nPlease note: This course will be taught compressed in a 5-weeks full time format (week 17 up and until week 22)\nContent\nReview of major soil and groundwater pollution sources and processes\nAdvanced topics in adsorption (two-site kinetics, nonlinear kinetics, double porosity media, - etc.)\nModelling dissolution and transport of organic liquid compounds\nModelling biodegradation\nPrinciples of multiphase flow\nPrinciples of virus transport and colloid transport in the subsurface\nPollution due to agricultural activities\nNatural attenuation of soil and groundwater pollution\nReview of major soil and groundwater remediation methods\nDetailed description and modelling of Pump-and-Treat method\nDetailed description and modelling of Hydraulic Removal of LNAPL method\nDetailed description and modelling of Soil Vapour Extraction method\nWorking extensively with PMWIN model of flow and transport." . .

"The Master’s programme Earth Surface and Water involves the study of natural and human-induced physical and geochemical processes, patterns, and dynamics of the Earth’s continental and coastal systems. The main subject areas you will study during the two-year programme consist of the dynamics of coastal and river systems, (geo-)hydrological processes, groundwater remediation, land degradation in drylands and mountainous regions, natural hazards, and delta evolution on centennial and longer time scales.\n\nFocus on societal problems\nModern society puts increasing pressure on the natural environment. The Earth Surface and Water programme therefore focusses on imminent societal problems, such as society’s increased vulnerability to climate and environmental changes and to natural hazards such as drought, flood, and mass movements. It also addresses the threats and opportunities resulting from human activity on our physical environment, including the hydrological cycle.\n\nCore areas of research\nIn the Earth Surface and Water programme you will study the interactions between the natural and the socio-economic systems using quantitative and spatially explicit methods. It addresses the dynamic patterns and processes of the physical and chemical components on the Earth’s surface, shallow subsurface and the coastal areas. Understanding the historic and current processes will help to predict their responses to global change.\nThe programme contains field observations and laboratory experiments with the latest developments in remote sensing and computational methods.\n\nSome examples of the programme's societal and scientific questions:\nHow do river floods affect delta systems and their inhabitants?\nHow can we use natural processes under climate change to maintain safe - yet attractive and dynamic - coastlines?\nHow to leverage remote sensing for detailed monitoring of natural processes and ecological variables?\nWill we have enough water to sustain the world’s rapidly increasing population in 2050?\nWhat is the most efficient way to clean an oil spill that enters the soil and groundwater?"@en . . . . .
