- Thesis title: Effect of sediment and groundwater flow heterogeneity on accurately modelling radionuclide transport at UK nuclear sites
- Supervisor: Professor Ian Burke, Professor Jared West
Profile
The project focuses on groundwater flow patterns and reactive transport of radionuclides in unconsolidated fluvial aquifers. Samples collected from Sellafield will be used to investigate how sediment heterogeneity controls contaminant mobility from both geochemical and hydrogeological aspects.
