Project of the Gulf of Mexico Integrated Science program that
evaluates the transport and sedimentation of contaminates
through the Mississippi River and Atchafalaya River delta to the
near-shore Gulf of Mexico. Includes aerial photographs. Boston
Harbor/Massachusetts Bay Studies research project conducted as
part of Boston Harbor cleanup to predict the fate of
contaminants and sediments introduced to Massachusetts' coastal
waters from sources that include Boston sewage outfall. Pavement
sealant contains chemicals that are known carcinogens, which get
into nearby homes, lakes, and the air. Sealants based on coal
tar release more dangerous chemicals than those based on
asphalt. Overview of fractured rock research aimed at
understanding the movement of water through fracture networks,
and characterize field conditions influencing contaminant
migration. Includes programs and publications. Homepage for the
research on occurrence, movement, flux, fate, and effects of
agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides, in
