There will be 19 hours of formal lectures. Each lecture makes use of Power-Point presentations, showing many projected diagrams and field views.

Registration begins on Day 1 at 7:30 a.m. Daily lectures are scheduled to begin on 8:30 am on Tuesday and 8:00 am on Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday and Wednesday lectures will end at 5:00 p.m., while the Thursday lectures will end at 4:00 p.m.

Day 1

• Introduction: Problem definition and the origin and nature of fractures and fracture networks
• DNAPL physics: properties, entry, flow, and remobilization in fractures
• Effects of matrix diffusion, sorption and degradation in source zones and plumes in fractured media: Proof of concepts through field monitoring
• DNAPL and vapor behavior and distribution in the vadose zone

Evening: Ice Breaker Reception

Day 2

• Case study: Large TCE plume in fractured sandstone: new approaches to determine
• Plume front retardation in fractured sedimentary rock: Assessment of processes
• Depth-discrete multilevel monitoring systems in aquitard and rock boreholes: new technologies and applications
• Borehole geophysical and hydrophysical methods to assess fractures and flow
• Case studies: Contrasts in DNAPL behavior at fractured rock sites

Day 3

• DNAPL behavior and attenuation in clayey aquitards and aquitard integrity
• Case studies: Natural attenuation in carbonate rock aquifers
• Evidence for abiotic and biological degradation in fractured rock
• Remediation options: In situ oxidation in fractured rock and clay
• Overview of current trends and unresolved issues
