Contaminants & Mitigation Group

The Contaminants & Mitigation Group develops innovative detection, modelling and technologies to prioritise contaminants of concern, assess and predict environmental risks & target solutions ensuring sustainable industries, prevent contamination legacies, and protection of human and environmental health.

Detection & Profiling Team 
We develop and use innovative tools and technologies for detection, profiling and assessment of contaminants of concern for emergency response, targeted management options and protection of human and environmental health. 
 

Fate & Transport Team 
We undertake research to detect chemicals of concern in soil-surface water-groundwater systems and develop novel transport and (bio) geochemical processes models to predict contaminant movement, impacts on soil and water quality and target management options. 

Remediation Technologies Team
We undertake research to develop and safeguard innovative technologies & solutions for the remediation of contaminated sites, wastes & infrastructure.
