The prevention of groundwater contamination at landfill and mining sites is a critical environmental issue. Dr. Rowe카지노 게임 컬렉션s research will combine modeling and experimental data to investigate long-term performance of various landfill liner systems, and provide new guidelines for the design of anti-contamination systems for future landfills and mining operations.
