A new publication examines how microbial processes may influence the fate of CO2 in geologic carbon sequestration settings.
The article, Biotransformation Processes Relevant to Geologic Carbon Sequestration: Potential Implications for Environmental Fate, is published in Environmental Science & Technology and is authored by GSI experts Lisa J. Molofsky, Thomas E. McHugh, Danny Kingham, and Charles J. Newell, with contributions from Sven Lahme, Kelly M. McFarlin, Paul G. Koster van Groos, Frank E. Löffler, Louise Camenzuli, Leanne Walker, Sophie L. Nixon, and Trent A. Key.
The paper reviews how CO2-driven geochemical changes can alter microbial communities and trigger biotransformation processes that move carbon into mineral, gas, or organic phases. It also explores implications for both deep storage formations and nontarget environments such as shallow groundwater, the vadose zone, and marine systems, while identifying key knowledge gaps that affect long-term prediction of CO2 behavior.

Congratulations to Dr. Gino Bianchi Mosquera, PG, BCES, on the publication of “Facilitated Transport of Organic Contaminants in a High Concentration, Multicomponent Plume,” in Groundwater Monitoring & Remediation.
This open access article, co-authored with D. M. Mackay, B. Myller, B. D. Honeyman, M. Schirmer, R. M. Allen-King, W. P. Ball and R. L. Stollar, presents findings from a field experiment at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal evaluating organic contaminant transport within a complex plume. The study provides new insight into why contaminants may migrate with little to no sorptive retardation in situ and identifies the need for additional laboratory research to better understand the plume components that influence sorption and mobility.

A new publication in “Remediation” features contributions from GSI’s Charles J. Newell and David T. Adamson: “A Long Way to Go: Challenges and Strategies for Managing PFAS in Groundwater.”
Co-authored with Paul B. Hatzinger (APTIM) and John S. Cook, this open access article explores national-scale PFAS remediation strategies by comparing pump-and-treat systems within situ permeable sorptive barriers across more than 10,000 hypothetical contaminated sites in the U.S.
The analysis finds that containment-focused approaches at a greater number of sites may offer more effective and cost-efficient risk reduction than intensive cleanups at fewer locations. The authors propose a phased national strategy: near-term containment and exposure prevention, followed by targeted mass removal as in situ destructive technologies evolve.

Hot Off The Press 🔥🔥 Maile Smith recently published an article that reflects on the largest changes in sustainable remediation over the last 10 years and looks forward on where the next opportunities lie. She is at the forefront of the movement to implement smarter, greener, and more transparent environmental restoration projects, and was a founding Board member and past President of the Sustainable Remediation Forum, a nonprofit organization working to incorporate sustainability principles into remediation practices. #sustainble #remediation
