Enhanced removal of emerging contaminants during managed aquifer recharge using optimized operating conditions
… conditions can improve CEC removal in full-scale MAR. These objectives were achieved through a combination of bench-, laboratory-, and field-scale experiments. BDOC is both a driver of microbial diversity and redox state, and therefore is an essential parameter affecting MAR performance. The …

Subsurface methane migration from natural gas distribution pipelines as affected by soil heterogeneity: field scale experimental and numerical study
… gas migration caused by leaking pipelines. Eight field-scale experiments were performed in custom designed test beds with different soil textures, pipeline burial depths, and alterable leak rates and soil moistures. Subsurface and surface methane concentrations in addition to soil moisture, …

Design and evaluation of a biosecure composting system to dispose of swine mortalities during a foreign animal disease outbreak
… British Columbia to compost swine mortalities. Field-scale experiments were conducted to evaluate the system’s performance. Two cover materials (ground cornstalks and woodchips) were tested using actively and passively aerated composting sheds. The mortalities were inoculated with Salmonella …

The Environmental Fate and transport of Trenbolone Acetate Metabolites in Agro-Ecosystems
… poorly characterized. Therefore, lab, plot, and field scale experiments were used to quantify the mass of TBA metabolites that could transport from agro-ecosystems to receiving waters. Observed leaching of 17a-TBOH from manure during irrigation closely matched estimates made from a 1-D …

Influence of beach hydrodynamics on saltwater transport and oil persistence in beaches
… involving a laboratory beach experiment, field scale experiments and numerical analyses. The laboratory beach experiment is designed to investigate the fundamental processes occurring in beach aquifers. It explores the effects of buoyancy (or lack thereof) on the flushing of freshwater to …

A Study on Photodegradation and The Fate of Pyrogenic Carbon
… consisted of a complimentary mix of laboratory-scale and controlled field-scale experiments with objectives of: 1) To assess the influence of solar irradiance on photodegradation of dissolved pyrogenic carbon and the nature of the degraded byproducts, 2) To assess spatiotemporal variation in …

Modelling and Experimental Characterization of Solar-Assisted Ground Source Heat Pump Systems with and without Thermal Energy Storage for Cold Climates
… a solar thermal collector with GSHP systems. Field-scale experimental demonstration setup was built and instrumented at the property of an industry partner, Telsec Property Corporation. Furthermore, a thoroughly validated numerical model was developed for long-term performance investigations. …

Adoption of footprint methods for the quality control of eddy-covariance measurements
… was to develop and test approaches to validation experiments for footprint models. Göckede et al. (2004) presented an approach for the evaluation of micrometeorological measurement sites in complex terrain, which combined a method for quality assessment of eddy-covariance measurements with an …
