Who should attend:
This intermediate to advanced course is designed for ground water scientists and engineers, project managers, compliance managers in the private, public and regulatory sectors An fundamental understanding of ground water movement, fractured bedrock and DNAPL properties are considered as a prerequisite for this course. It will focus on recently developed remediation concepts and emerging technology.

Continuing Education Information:

• 8 Contact Hours
  0.8 Continuing Education Units
• (pre-approvals pending)

Introduction:
We have created a new course dedicated to DNAPL in fractured bedrock systems. It presents emerging strategies on characterizing, monitoring and remediation of DNAPLs in bedrock formations. The course is designed as the next step in continuation from our 3-day course dedicated to improving the hydrogeologic analysis of fractured bedrock systems.

Register now and learn about state-of-the-art stategies and emerging technologies for remediation strategies of DNAPL in fractured bedrock. The course is designed to contain a mix of conceptual, practical, and logistical information pertaining to the DNAPL in bedrock formations.

Enhance your efficiency, improve your expertise and gain a competitive advantage by mastering characterization, monitoring and remediation of DNAPL in bedrock formations, including carbonate, crystalline, and metamorphic rocks

Start Time: 8am
Lunch: 12N to 1pm
Adjourns: 5:15pm

Allen Shapiro, PhD
Senior Research Hydrologist
National Research Program of the U.S. Geological Survey

Dr. Allen Shapiro is a graduate of Princeton University with a PhD. in Civil and Geological Engineering. Dr. Shapiro has conducted hydrologic research at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel, and has been an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University.

He is currently a Senior Research Hydrologist with the National Research Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Reston, VA. His research focuses on the development of field techniques and equipment, and methods of integrating and interpreting geologic, geophysical, hydraulic and geochemical information in the characterization of fluid movement and chemical transport in fractured rock over dimensions from meters to kilometers.

His research has focused on a wide range of geologic environments, including crystalline rock, sedimentary formations, and carbonate aquifers that have undergone karstification. His research has been applied in issues of water supply, geotechnical engineering, waste isolation, and ground-water contamination and restoration, including the fate of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) in fractured rock.

He has patented equipment for conducting hydraulic tests and collecting water samples for geochemical analyses in fractured rock aquifers, and he has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Shapiro has served as an Associate Editor of Journal of Hydrology, and he is currently an Associate Editor of the journal Ground Water. In 2004, the National Ground Water Association selected Dr. Shapiro as the 2004 Distinguished Darcy Lecturer, for which he lectured on his research, both nationally and internationally, at over 50 universities and research institutes.
