MS4
Optimization Methods for Groundwater Remediation

9:50 AM - 11:50 AM
Room: Paneterie 3

Many recent advances in optimization technology have not been applied to problems in groundwater remediation. The purpose of this minisymposium is to describe some new methods and how they can be applied to remediation problems. Each of the speakers will describe a method, its implementation in software, and its application to a remediation problem. Most of the software is freely available, and we hope that the community will explore these new methods.
