US environmental programs (e.g. the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP)) fund cutting-edge environmental projects. Here, articles are written by invited experts (see Contributors), edited by leaders in this field (see Editors), and aim to introduce and summarize current knowledge to environmental project professionals on topics using cross-linked references to reports and technical literature. The library archives and summarily describes additional resources relevant to all environmental professionals. FEATURED ARTICLES (Updated Regularly) In Situ Chemical Oxidation - ISCO CONTRIBUTORS: Dr. Michelle Crimi ARTICLE SUMMARY Chemical Oxidation is an in situ remediation technology that can be applied to groundwater or soils through the injection or mechanically mixing of strong oxidants into the treatment zone, promoting destructive abiotic degradation reactions. It is commonly used, applicable to many hydrogeologic settings, and relies on well-known technologies such as injection and mixing. Molecular Biological Tools - MBTs CONTRIBUTORS: Dora Ogles-Taggart ARTICLE SUMMARY Molecular Biological Tools (MBTs) are analyses used to estimate biodegradation at contaminated sites. They can provide key evidence about contaminant-degrading microorganisms and biodegradation processes at many phases associated with site remediation projects. Although numerous MBTs exist, being informed about a large swath of the approaches available is critical to choosing the MBT that best aligns with site-specific project objectives and concerns. LIBRARY (Documents/Reports/References) Helpful documents and reports have been collected and summarized in the ER Library for easy access. Documents are pulled from some of the leading organizations in environmental restoration reseach and applications and include content covering a wide variety of topics.
