Paul Furbacher, Environmental Scientist
The talk, titled Building robust LCSM for remediation decision-making: Next-generation tools, presented an LNAPL Conceptual Site Model (LCSM) that integrates microbial community traits and degradative capacity with quantification of compositional weathering, cumulative degradation rates, LNAPL mobility, and vertical and horizontal gradients in overburden and bedrock facies.
It was prepared with input from other Ecometrix experts, including Langping Wu and Elizabeth Haack, and took place on October 16.
Paul joined other speakers at RemTech 2025, a forum for industry experts to present findings and cutting-edge technologies in the field of contamination remediation and industrial pollutant treatments.
Alongside discussions that provided excellent perspective for Indigenous engagements in remediation projects, there was a focus on how LNAPL NSZD approaches have developed significantly in the last decade both in Canada and abroad.
