Objective The general approach of the project is to test the geophysical methods on already investigated contaminated sites on which complementary analytical measurements by core sampling will be carried out to better characterize the spatial distribution of contaminants. Two sites will be investigated: -a former coke plant (HAP main contamination) -a closed petroleum products depot (gasoline - fuel contamination). The physical parameters (electric permittivity and electrical resistivity) which are involved in the selected geophysical methods (GPR, RMT, ET) are sensitive to both NAPL-and water-content. Hence, geophysical measurements will be carried out on both sites in different hydric states of soil (winter and summer campaigns). The interest of combining the three geophysical method is: -decreasing the uncertainty in the pollution recognition -separating the structural effects from the pollution effects using the different sensitivities of each method related to the kinds of soils -compensating the methods weaknesses by their complementarity -reaching a robust cross-interpretation allowing to give a better spatial distribution of the contaminated volume. The end-product methodology will be defined as the combination of geophysical methods and data processing methods which will give the best field-correlated results.2 Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsliquid fuelsnatural sciencesphysical scienceselectromagnetism and electronicsengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsfossil energypetroleumnatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesenvironmental sciencespollutionnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdata sciencedata processing Programme(s) FP4-ENV 2C - Specific programme of research and technological development in the field of environment and climate, 1994-1998 Topic(s) 02020306 - Rehabilitation of contaminated sites Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator Institut Français du Pétrole EU contribution No data Address 1&4,Avenue de Bois-Préau 92500 Rueil-Malmaison France See on map Total cost No data Participants (3) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all Deutsche Montan Technologie - Gesellschaft für Forschung und Prüfung mbH (DMT) Germany EU contribution No data Address Herner Straße 45 44791 Bochum See on map Total cost No data Imaging Arts Co Greece EU contribution No data Address 4,Kalapothaki St. 4 54624 Thessaloniki See on map Total cost No data UNIVERSITAET KOELN Germany EU contribution No data Address Zuelpicher Str. 49 50674 KOELN See on map Total cost No data
