In Situ Instrumentation for Evaluating Air Injection Remediation Technologies

An instrumentation system consisting of driven well-points, instrumentation bundles, and discrete sampling has been developed for monitoring subsurface conditions during the operation of air injection remediation systems. The driven well points provide intimate contact reducing the impact on the remediation process. The instrumentation bundles afford continuous monitoring of subsurface conditio...

Identification of morphological biosignatures in Martian analogue field specimens using in situ planetary instrumentation.

We have investigated how morphological biosignatures (i.e., features related to life) might be identified with an array of viable instruments within the framework of robotic planetary surface operations at Mars. This is the first time such an integrated lab-based study has been conducted that incorporates space-qualified instrumentation designed for combined in situ imaging, analysis, and geote...

Advanced Instrumentation for In Situ Field Monitoring of Soil Carbon Sequestration

Atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased considerably since the mid-1800s and are projected to increase even further during the coming century. This rapid increase in CO2 concentration corresponds with increases in the combustion of fossil fuel, changes in agricultural land use, and deforestation since the beginning of the industrial age. These observations have prompted scientists and pol...
