Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a sediment site with varying organic carbon content and significant erosion. How would you approach modeling contaminant transport while factoring in these elements?
💡 Hint: Focus on how the composition changes and the impact of external environmental factors.
Using core sampling data, describe how to predict contaminant concentration profiles three months after an initial spill. Consider methods of assessment and expected changes.
💡 Hint: Think about how time influences concentration gradients in layered sediment.
