Analytical Modelling of MSW Landfill Surface Displacement Based on GNSS Monitoring

Preliminary Observations from Robot-enabled Surface Methane Concentration Monitoring at a MSW Landfill

The use of robots for surface methane concentration (SMC) monitoring at municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills has the potential to improve quality of data acquisition for fugitive methane measurement over current practices. Methane concentrations vary significantly, both spatially and temporally, across a MSW landfill. However, current monitoring methods do not necessarily account for these sig...

Modelling the Potential Biogas Productivity Range from a MSW Landfill for Its Sustainable Exploitation

A model of biogas generation was modified and applied to the case of a sanitary landfill in Italy. The modifications considered the role of the temperature field normally established within each layer of waste. It must be pointed out the temperature affects the anaerobic biodegradation kinetics. In order to assess the effect of moisture on the waste biodegradation rate, on the bacteria process ...

Monitoring and Inverse Dispersion Modeling to Quantify VOCs from MSW Landfill

Multiresolution Surface Representation Based on Displacement Volumes

We propose a new representation for multiresolution models which uses volume elements enclosed between the different resolution levels to encode the detail information. Keeping these displacement volumes locally constant during a deformation of the base surface leads to a natural behaviour of the detail features. The corresponding reconstruction operator can be implemented efficiently by a hier...
