Climate change
Climate change is occurring due to global warming caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels. The greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer overall, leading to changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels, stronger storms and other impacts of a changing climate. If emissions continue at a high rate, the impacts of climate change will intensify and become more severe and widespread.

global warming
Human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation are releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at a much faster rate than natural processes, trapping more heat and causing global warming. Carbon dioxide levels have increased 30% over the past 150 years due to oil, gas, and industrial emissions. Deforestation, which accounts for 25% of carbon dioxide emissions, reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide from the air. If emissions continue at their current rate, scientists predict the average global temperature could rise 4.5°F by 2055 and 10°F by 2100, with devastating worldwide consequences if impacts of climate change are not addressed.
The albedo effect test
The document discusses the Albedo effect and its impact on global climate change. The Albedo effect refers to the reflection of sunlight from surfaces like ice, snow and clouds back into space which helps regulate the Earth's temperature. As Arctic ice and snow melt due to rising temperatures, more heat is absorbed from the sun instead of being reflected away, creating a feedback loop that further warms the planet. Understanding the Albedo effect is important because changes in surfaces that impact reflection of sunlight back into space can influence global climate change.
Global Warming
Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system, an aspect of climate change shown by temperature measurements and by multiple effects of the warming.
Climate Change: The Physical Science Basis
The document discusses the physical science basis of climate change. It summarizes that global warming trends are unequivocal based on multiple lines of evidence. The dominant cause is extremely likely to be human influence, including increased CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. If emissions continue at a high level, global temperatures are projected to rise more than 1.5°C by the late 21st century compared to pre-industrial levels, with more regional warming differences and effects on weather patterns like worsening heat waves. Sea level rise will also continue due to ocean and ice sheet changes. Limiting future climate change will require substantial emissions reductions.

- According to climate models and emission scenarios, oceans will continue warming and acidifying as CO2 levels rise. Warming is projected to displace marine species and reduce fish and invertebrate biomass and diversity at low latitudes.
- Warming of 2°C or more above pre-industrial levels will reduce the habitat range of many marine species by over 20% and up to 40% at northern high latitudes. Combined warming and oxygen loss could further reduce metabolic scope in many marine animals.
- Long-term risks of ocean warming, acidification, sea level rise and other climate impacts need to be considered to guide setting ambitious global temperature goals, such as aiming to limit warming to 1.5°

Climate Change
The document discusses evidence that human activity is causing climate change through the emission of greenhouse gases. It describes how scientific analysis of ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland reveal that climate change is occurring and that we are heading towards significant changes to the climate. While some argue that climate change is a natural phenomenon, the evidence from feedback mechanisms like chemical weathering of CO2 indicates that human emissions are disrupting these systems and accelerating climate change. The document urges that despite skepticism, the scientific evidence needs to be addressed to mitigate the risks of climate change.

Climate Science Explained by Team Norvergence
The document discusses climate change and its causes according to research by Team Norvergence. It finds that the planet's climate has cycled throughout history, but the global temperature has increased 1 degree Celsius in the last 120 years. Human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation have raised greenhouse gas levels exponentially compared to natural levels, influencing the climate. The influence of human emissions on climate change is now overwhelming and causing effects like ocean acidification.
Cambios climáticos, hidrológicos y proyecciones en Sudamérica
This document discusses climate change impacts on water resources in South America. It finds that glacial retreat is accelerating in both tropical and extra-tropical Andean regions, with glaciers losing around 1 meter of water equivalent per year. Climate change is projected to increase the risk of both water scarcity and flooding in basins across South and Central America. Hydrological impacts include changes in river flows, with some basins increasing and others decreasing, depending on the region and time period considered.

Proyecto quimestral
The document discusses the greenhouse effect and global warming. It explains that the greenhouse effect is caused by an increase in atmospheric temperature due to the accumulation of gases. Solar energy warms the Earth's surface, and some of this heat gets trapped in the atmosphere by accumulated gases. The main gases in the atmosphere are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide, with CO2 making up about 0.03% but playing a crucial role in atmospheric warming. Data shows global temperatures have increased about 0.5°C since the late 19th century, with the warmest years being in the last few decades, indicating intensification of the greenhouse effect. The document also provides a formula to calculate temperature increase based on levels of greenhouse
Whispering Winds - Can we negotiate with Nature?
This document discusses compensating and offsetting impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services. It introduces research being done at CIGEST on environment and sustainability, focusing on whether nature can be negotiated with through compensation and offsets. Diagrams are included showing the economy as a subsystem of the ecosystem and different types of landscapes in relation to ecosystem services provided. References are also provided on topics like environmental performance indexes and evaluating offset design options.

The document discusses climate change and its economic considerations. It describes climate change as the greatest market failure seen, as the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions are felt globally but no single entity can capture the benefits of reducing emissions. Key characteristics of the climate change externality mentioned are that it is global in nature, reducing emissions provides a global public good, some effects occur very long term over centuries, and there is uncertainty in understanding the impacts.
climate change in the Phillipines
This document discusses climate change and its causes. It notes that climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in weather patterns over decades or longer. These changes can be caused by natural factors like volcanoes or human activities that release greenhouse gases. Evidence of climate change includes rising global temperatures, melting ice and snow, and sea level rise. The document suggests some approaches to addressing climate change, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, developing alternative energies, and preparing for climate impacts.
Crop productivity schleussner_2018_environ_res_lett
This document summarizes a study that used crop modeling to examine the impacts of 1.5°C and 2°C of global warming on crop productivity under different levels of atmospheric CO2. The study found that for the same CO2 level, half a degree of additional warming (1.5°C to 2°C) led to consistent negative impacts on crop yields in most world regions. Increasing CO2 concentrations consistent with 1.5°C or 2°C of warming had potentially stronger effects on yields than just 0.5°C of additional warming, but these CO2 effects were highly uncertain. The study also found that half a degree more warming would lead to more extreme low crop yields, especially in tropical regions
Academia - SESSION 1: Findings of the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C
This document summarizes the key findings of an IPCC report on limiting global warming to 1.5°C. It notes that human activities have already caused 1°C of warming and we are on track to reach 1.5°C between 2030-2050 at the current rate. To limit warming to 1.5°C, global CO2 emissions would need to fall by about 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by around 2050. This would require rapid and far-reaching transitions across energy, land, urban and industrial systems through measures like renewable energy expansion and carbon capture technologies. Limiting warming to 1.5°C rather than 2°C would significantly reduce impacts on ecosystems, weather extremes,

It also summarizes the key findings and impact of the Fifth Assessment Report.
Global Climate Change Presentation.ppt
This document discusses greenhouse gases and global climate change. It defines greenhouse gases as gases that cause the greenhouse effect and trap heat in the lower atmosphere. It then defines global climate change as identifiable changes in Earth's climate that last for decades or longer, and are usually caused by either natural processes or human activities that release greenhouse gases. The document goes on to explain that current climate changes are happening due to both natural causes like volcanoes and plate tectonic movement, as well as human activities that release greenhouse gases. It notes that the effects of human-caused greenhouse gases have been detected throughout the climate system and are extremely likely the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century.

Lecture 9 human population change
Population growth follows an S-shaped curve, with initial exponential growth leveling off as the carrying capacity is approached. Exponential population growth means the larger the population gets, the faster it grows. Carrying capacity is the largest sustainable population an environment can support without changes. Using the rule of 70, which is similar to the rule of 72 for finances, the document shows that at a 1.3% growth rate, the human population will double in about 55 years.
Economics And Ecology
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute documentary that exposes the hidden environmental and social impacts of production and consumption patterns. It shows how the extraction, sale, use, and disposal of consumer goods affects communities at home and abroad. The documentary aims to teach viewers about these connections in order to foster more sustainable and just consumption behaviors. The three pillars of sustainability are the environment, economy, and society. Ecological economics considers how economic activities like resource depletion and pollution impact the environment and society. It advocates for valuing natural capital and ecosystem services as well as alternative indicators to GDP to measure economic progress. Economic incentives and disincentives like taxes, subsidies, and market mechanisms can help internalize environmental and social costs to
Role of energy in sustainable development
1. The document discusses the role of energy for sustainable development. It defines sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
2. Energy is a driver of economic growth and critical infrastructure for development. However, current energy sources are not sustainable as fossil fuels are finite and their use harms the environment.
3. For sustainable development, the document argues that renewable energy sources must be utilized at a rate equal to their natural replenishment without negative environmental impacts. This will help ensure future access to energy resources.
Sustainable Development
1. Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
2. The concept has its roots in the late 1700s but gained attention in the 1980s with the Brundtland Commission report which defined sustainable development.
3. There are three pillars of sustainable development - environment, economy, and society. Achieving balance across these three is the goal of sustainable development.
Sustainability Science in a Global Landscape
Science, technology and innovation have long been recognized as the basis for socioeconomic development. They are also core contributors to sustainable development and to meeting the SDGs. The UN has called for a “seat for science” on the High-Level Political Forum that deals with the UN’s sustainable development agenda, to ensure that “science is not just an observer but an advisor to policymakers.” This report is part of a broader, on-going effort to provide more evidence and analysis on the role of science, technology and innovation in the global agenda of sustainable development.

Role of energy in sustainable development goals
This document discusses the role of energy in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It states that the SDGs cannot be achieved without conservation and sustainable use of energy, as each goal requires energy. It then summarizes how access to affordable, reliable energy is essential for reducing poverty and hunger, improving health and education, achieving gender equality, ensuring access to water, supporting economic growth, enabling industrialization, promoting sustainable cities and communities, addressing climate change, and fostering global partnerships. The document emphasizes that sustainable energy development and cooperation between all nations is needed to achieve the energy-related targets of the SDGs and create a cleaner, more equitable world.
The Human Population Challenge: From “Population Bomb” to “Demographic Crisis”
This document discusses the human population challenge from the "Population Bomb" concerns to current worries about a "demographic crisis". It provides global and US population statistics from 1990 to 2010. It also discusses key demographic terms and concepts like total fertility rate, replacement-level fertility, age structure histograms, and components of population change. While some warn of overpopulation, others warn of a crisis due to aging populations in countries with low birth rates. However, the document argues that characterizing population stabilization as a crisis is misleading given constraints on continuous growth. Overall population growth and its social and environmental impacts present complex challenges that defy simplistic analysis.
Lesson 2 Theories For The Relationship Between Population And Resources
There are differing theories on the relationship between population growth and resources. Thomas Malthus predicted a population catastrophe as population grows geometrically while food supply only increases arithmetically. Neo-Malthusians like the Club of Rome warned of limits to growth in the 1970s. However, Ester Boserup argued that population growth triggers innovation that allows food supply to increase through technologies like irrigation and better farming techniques.
The Sustainable Energy Challenge
This presentation is an introduction to the sustainable energy challenge. It gives an overview over fossil fuels, the laws of energy, energy efficiency and conservation, and renewable energy sources. The focus is on providing students with the scientific tools for understanding the magnitude of the challenge and analyzing potential solutions.
Tragedy of the Commons
The document summarizes Garret Hardin's influential 1968 publication "The Tragedy of the Commons". It describes how allowing open access to a shared resource, like a pasture, leads rational individuals to overuse it for personal gain, ultimately destroying the resource. While frequently cited in favor of privatization, the article has received criticism for historical inaccuracies and for mischaracterizing the issues as issues of common rather than open access. Later, Hardin clarified he was referring to "The Tragedy of the Unmanaged Commons".
Growth in a Finite World - Sustainability and the Exponential Function
This presentation, accessible to the general public and specifically designed for students of sustainability, explores the dramatic growth of the human sphere on planet Earth with its limited resources, and presents the mathematical tools for understanding the exponential function.
The lecture is accompanied by the article "Exponential Growth, Doubling Time, and the Rule of 70" (http://www.slideshare.net/amenning/exponential-growthmath) and a collection of practice problems and case studies (http://www.slideshare.net/amenning/exponential-growth-casestudies).
The presentation "The Human Population Challenge" is suitable as a follow-up lecture.
Living in the Anthropocene: Science, Sustainability, and Society
This document discusses the role of science in addressing sustainability challenges in the Anthropocene era. It argues that science needs to focus on systems and solutions, conduct research with societal partners, and ensure its findings are effectively communicated and applied to policy and business. The document proposes that Future Earth establish knowledge-action networks and a global boundary organization to facilitate co-designed, transdisciplinary research on issues like food, water, energy systems, cities, and the climate crisis. The goal would be to generate science, solutions, and services to achieve sustainability objectives like healthy ecosystems and equitable societies.
Sustainable energy ppt
1. The document discusses various renewable energy sources including solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, tidal energy, wave energy, hydroelectricity, and biomass.
2. It provides details on each source, outlining their advantages and disadvantages. For example, it notes that solar energy harnesses the sun's energy for electricity production while wind turbines convert kinetic energy from the wind.
3. The document emphasizes that renewable energy is important because it provides environmental benefits, empowers future generations, and lessens dependence on fossil fuels.
06 tragedy of the commons
Garrett Hardin discusses the role of open access resources that lead to their over use and exploitation. Environmental goods are in the nature of open access, common property resources so that there is no limit to their use. This results in over exploitation and destruction.
Renewable Energy Sources
Renewable energy sources include sunlight, geothermal heat, tides, wind and biomass. These sources generate clean energy without pollution or climate change. The main types are solar, wind, hydropower, biofuels and geothermal. Solar energy is captured through photovoltaic cells and solar thermal collectors. Wind energy is harnessed via wind turbines in wind farms, and hydropower uses the force of moving water in dams to generate electricity. Biomass and biofuels come from organic matter like plants, and geothermal taps heat from within the earth.

Summary:
Humanity’s unceasing ingenuity is generating vast economic gain for billions of people with goods unavailable to even kings and queens throughout most of history. Unfortunately, this economic growth has triggered unprecedented se- curity challenges of global and historical magnitude: more absolute poor than any time in human history, the sixth largest extinction spasm of life on earth, climate destabilization with mega-catastrophic consequences, and multi-trillion dollar wars over access to energy. These multiple, inextricably interwoven chal- lenges have low probability of being solved if decision makers maintain the strong propensity to think and act as if life is linear, has no carrying capacity limits, uncertainty is controllable, the future free of surprises, planning is predictable and compartmentalized into silos, and Gaussian distributions are taken as the norm while fat-tail futures are ignored. Although the future holds irreducible uncertainties, it is not fated. The emergence of Internet availability to one-third of humanity and access by most of humanity within a decade has spawned the Web analogue of a ‘Cambrian explosion’ of speciation in knowledge applica- tions. Among the most prodigious have been collaboration innovation networks (COINs) reflecting a diversity of ‘genome’ types, facilitating a myriad of collective intelligence crowd-swarming phenomena (Malone T, Laubacher R, Dellarocas C. The Collective Intelligence Genome. MIT Sloan Management Review, Spring; 2010, Vol. 51). COINs are essential tools for accelerating and scaling transformational solutions (positive tipping points) to the wicked problems confronting humanity. Web COINs enable acceleration of multiple-benefit innovations and solutions to these problems that permeate the nested clusters of linked nonlinear complex adaptive systems comprising the global biosphere and socioeconomy [Raford N.

Nutrients food security and or environmental security
The document discusses the major challenges related to achieving both food security and environmental security given current and projected global population growth and climate change. It outlines issues like increasing demand for resources due to more people and stronger economies, the need to feed billions more people by 2050, threats from extreme weather and erosion to food production, groundwater depletion stressing aquifers, and the importance of conservation practices and policies for mitigating climate change impacts while adapting to ensure future food security. Good policies and conservation can help achieve food security with healthy soils and water, while bad policies and lack of conservation threaten these goals.

It also briefly outlines some basics of the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gas emissions by sector that contribute to global warming.
Climate change education Dominic
This document discusses the need to redefine education in the context of climate change. It covers topics such as the causes and impacts of climate change, the ethical implications, and actions individuals and communities can take. The key points are:
1) Unsustainable development has led to climate change through environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. A paradigm shift is needed to understand sustainable development through an ecosystem lens.
2) Education must incorporate science, the political economy of decision making, ethics around climate justice, and opportunities for relevant individual and community action on mitigation and adaptation.
3) Education should follow the four pillars of learning - learning to know, do, be, and live sustainably - to foster critical thinking and
Alba gamarra final project

This document discusses Frenet curves and successor curves, which are classes of curves in three-dimensional space. It presents a generalized theory of Frenet curves that allows curves with inflection points or line segments to be considered Frenet curves. The key points are:
1) A Frenet curve is a curve that possesses a Frenet frame, consisting of a tangent vector, principal normal vector, and binormal vector, along with curvature and torsion functions.
2) Successor curves are constructed by taking an original Frenet curve and making its tangent vector the principal normal of a new Frenet frame. Helices are the successor curves of planes curves, and slant helices are the successor curves of helices
Exponential Growth: Case Studies for Sustainability Education

World Hunger and Food Security
A lecture in Quantitative Sustainability
It is often claimed that agricultural productivity needs to be increased in order to feed a growing world population. Food security depends on several factors besides the productivity, including waste/efficiency, energy crops, meat consumption, and global justice and equity. This lecture explores the issue of food security in its many dimensions and teaches how to use a high-level systems approach in sustainability science.

The problems below are a selection of real world problems developed for the teaching of sustainability/conservation related College classes. The exercises are designed to foster quantitative competence (numeracy) as well as critical thinking and systems thinking. They are basic but realistic and all data used are taken from the published scientific literature and from public online databases maintained by official organizations such as FAO and EIA.
No advanced Mathematics is required, yet these problems are challenging for most students. Many students need help to overcome a certain math anxiety or even phobia. These exercises must be accompanied by intensive discussion, assistance, and feedback. Students who complete these assignments successfully experience the power of even basic quantitative methods. They learn that informed citizens do not have to rely solely upon the advice of experts – with reasonable effort they can gather and interpret information and come up with approximate answers to important, non-trivial real world questions.

Geographically referenced US census data provide a large amount of information about the extent of urbanization and land consumption. Population count, the number of housing units and their vacancy rates, and demographic and economic parameters such as racial composition and household income, and their change over time, can be examined at different levels of geographic resolution to observe patterns of urban flight, suburbanization, reurbanization, and sprawl. This paper will review the literature on prior application of census data in a geospatial setting. It will identify strengths and weaknesses and address methodological challenges of census-based approaches to the study of urbanization. To this end, a detailed overview of the geographic structure of U.S. Census data and its evolution is provided. Ecological Fallacies and the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) are discussed and the Population Weighted Density as a more robust alternative to crude population density is introduced. Of special interest will be literature comparing and/or integrating census data with alternative methodologies, e.g. based on Remote Sensing. The general purpose of this paper is to lay the groundwork for the optimal use of high resolution census data in studying urbanization in the United States.

Solar Power: Solar Heating, Photovoltaics, and Solar Thermal Power
The document compares two methods for generating large-scale electricity from solar energy: photovoltaic (PV) power plants and solar thermal power plants. PV plants directly convert sunlight to electricity using solar panels, while solar thermal plants use concentrated solar power to heat a fluid and generate electricity through a steam turbine. Solar thermal plants have advantages of energy storage and ability to supplement with fossil fuels, but are limited geographically to desert areas with strong sunlight. The largest solar thermal plant is in California, while PV installations have grown rapidly worldwide in recent years.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
