Noblis Center for Sustainability Experts Presented at the International Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds 

Noblis Center for Sustainability experts Jonathan Horin, Robert Edwards, Ronald Porter and Kathleen Bradley gave presentations at the International Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds organized by Battelle. More than 1,750 scientists, engineers, regulators, and other environmental professionals representing universities, government site management and regulatory agencies, and R&D and manufacturing firms from 32 countries attended.
 
The program focused on the innovative application of existing or new technologies and approaches to address the challenges of characterization, treatment, and monitoring of chlorinated and other recalcitrant compounds in various environmental media. The conference convened a special session on the Air Force's Environmental Restoration Program Optimization (ERP-O) effort which Noblis supports.

Noblis Fellow and ERP-O Session Co-chair, Jonathan Horin gave a presentation titled, "Overview of the Air Force Environmental Restoration Program Optimization Program."

Ronald Porter, a principal in Center for Sustainability, co-authored the presentation, "The Role of Risk Assessment in Remedial Process Optimization."

Noblis Lead Kathleen Bradley crafted a poster titled, "Long-Term Monitoring Optimization Strategies."

In separate sessions, Noblis Manager Robert Edwards and Kathleen Bradley co-authored and Edwards presented, "A Robust Model for Biotic and Abiotic Degradation of CAH in an In Situ Bioreactor." This paper discussed the lines of evidence used to develop the model of contaminant degradation occurring in a bioreactor.
