Description
Description
Advances in Remediation Techniques for Polluted Soils and Groundwater focuses on the thematic areas for assessment, mitigation, and management of polluted sites. This book covers advances in modelling approaches, including Machine Learning (ML)/ Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications; GIS and remote sensing; sensors; impacts of climate change on geogenic contaminants; and socio-economic impacts in the poor rural and urban areas, which are lacking in a more comprehensive manner in the previous titles. This book encompasses updated information as well as future directions for researchers working in the field of management and remediation of polluted sites.

Pankaj Kumar Gupta
Dr. Pankaj Kumar Gupta is a Ramanujan fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology (I.I.T.) Delhi, India and post-doctoral fellow in the faculty of environment, University of Waterloo, Canada. His current research focuses on investigating the behavior of pollutants in peatlands (Canada) and mineral aquifers (India) under dynamically fluctuating groundwater table conditions. Majority of his works focus on two areas: (1) understanding the occurrence of bio-geo-chemical interactions when pollutants migrate into groundwater systems; and (2) developing remediation strategies. Dr. Gupta hsa in-depth experience in incorporating novel technologies to map soil-water systems in more than 30sites in India. He is passionate about interdisciplinary research and teaching to understand multi-scale interactions between different components of the subsurface environment, especially the soil- groundwater-pollutant-microbes system.
