Question 1
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.
Question 2
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.
