Application closing date 22/08/2016 Bioelectrical systems (BES) are used to describe applications where current and potential is generated by microbes. Here we are researching the application of BES across contaminant plumes using near surface geo-electrical alongside microbial ecology and electrochemistry techniques to monitor microbial activity and plume characteristics in the subsurface. This project will address this area by using a range of near surface geo-electrical techniques (Resistivity, Self Potential, Induced Polarisation) on site combined with microbial ecology from groundwater and electrode samples to help construct and monitor a BES across a groundwater contaminant plume. Thus, the project will include: • Investigation using near surface geo-electrical techniques (Resistivity, Self Potential, Induced Polarisation etc.) • Collaboration with molecular biologists to elucidate effects on the microbial community structures and activity • Construction and monitoring of a field scale and laboratory BES Application closing date 22/08/2016 |
