Use of magnetic susceptibility to map amendment distribution in the subsurface

It has been said that one of the challenges of in-situ remediation is that “it’s dark underground”. We inject various remedial amendments into the subsurface and often have limited means to assess where they go, despite the fact that amendment distribution can have a major impact on remedial performance. It is...
