Venturina Terme (Li) - Italy

Skills:- origin and evolution of pollutants linked to natural and anthropogenic sources; - gas fluxes from soil (in natural evironment and in landfill facilities);- geochemical mapping by geostatistical techniques (Kriging, Conditioned/Unconditioned Sequential Gaussian Simulation, Turning Bands Simulations,...);- geochemical and isotopic data processing by multivariate statistics;- definition of geochemical baselines;- geological, hydrogeological and geochemical characterization of aquifer exploited as drinking water resource;- isotope fingerpring.Prevalent activities:- quantification of landfill gas (LFG) emissions (CH4, CO2, H2S, VOC, NH3) released from landfills cover and their mapping by means of statistical and geostatistical elaborations of punctual measurements carried out by the accumulation chamber method;- geochemical and isotopic (δ18O, δ2H, δ13CDIC, Tritium content) water monitoring for the determination and quantification of the presence of contamination linked to landfill leachate;- evaluation of geochemical baseline in groundwater, stream waters and stream sediments;- geological, hydrogeological and geochemical characterization of groundwater resource;- numerical modelling of landfill gas generation rates and evaluation of residual biogas production potential;- evinronmental forensics
