Advances in Subsurface Pollution of Porous Media - Indicators, Processes and Modelling

Lucila Candela is professor at the Department of Geotechnical Engineering and

Geoscience-UPC (Barcelona, Spain). Her research topics mainly address the nature and

fate of contaminants in the subsurface, laboratory process studies on contaminant transport

in porous media, and groundwater hydrology.

Inaki Vadillo is researcher and lecturer at the Department of Geology, University of

Malaga (Spain). He is investigating the understanding of hydrochemical processes of

contaminants in aquifers (Nitrate pollution, landfills, isotope application in groundwater

pollution studies).

Francisco Javier Elorza is professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics in the

Madrid School of Mines - UPM (Madrid, Spain). His research topics mainly address

the numerical simulation of the nature and fate of contaminants in the surface and the

subsurface, stochastic modelling of environmental problems (i.e. transport in porous and

fracture geological media) and the simulation of coupled processes in porous media.
