Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A core sampling project in a river indicates that contaminants rise quickly in the sediment profile. Considering sediment transport dynamics, explain how surface runoff may impact deeper layers over time.
💡 Hint: Consider the movement of water and how it disperses contamination in sediments.
