Remediation in Rock Masses.

Comprehensively presenting the complex facets of geomedia contamination modeling, site characterization, and remediation at industrial sites, landfills, and hardrock/coal mining sites, these 17 papers include theoretical analyses, case studies, recommendations, and illustrations of fundamental princ...
