SUMMARY:Applied Mineralogy for Environmental Consultants
DESCRIPTION:What if the minerals beneath a contaminated site held the key to more effective remediation? \nEnvironmental consultants regularly encounter soil descriptions that go no further than “sand\, silt\, gravel\, or clay” yet the mineralogy of those soils can be the difference between a remediation that works and one that doesn’t. Applied Mineralogy bridges the gap between mining industry analytical methods and environmental site assessment\, giving practitioners a powerful new lens for understanding contaminated sites. \nJoin us for a 90-minute session exploring how soil mineralogy can be applied across the full lifecycle of environmental site assessment and remediation. \nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nHow mineral composition affects contaminant behaviour in groundwater\nHow to determine the source of background metals concentrations\nWhy some remedial injections underperform and what mineralogy reveals\nHow physical properties of metals can be leveraged for remediation\nSimple field tests and data evaluation strategies for conceptual understanding\nLab methods for quantifying mineral concentrations as inputs for remedial design and geochemical assessments\nReal-world case studies demonstrating the value of Applied Mineralogy for environmental consultants\n\nWhy Attend?\nSoil mineralogy is an underutilized tool in the environmental consultant’s toolkit. The presence or absence of specific minerals can fundamentally shape how a site is assessed and how remediation is designed. This session will show you how analytical approaches from the mining sector can be adapted and applied to your practice\, with practical\, field-ready takeaways. \nThis session is your opportunity to: \n\nBuild a more complete conceptual site model\nUnderstand unexpected remediation outcomes\nAdd a mineral-informed approach to your site assessment workflow\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nEnvironmental site assessment and remediation professionals\nHydrogeologists and geotechnical practitioners\nEnvironmental consultants working with contaminated sites\nStudents and early-career professionals in environmental science or geoscience\n\nSpeaker:\n \nJake Gossen \nJake Gossen is an environmental scientist specializing in fate and transport assessment of organic and inorganic contaminants in support of human health and ecological risk assessments and remedial design. His expertise includes aquifer characterization\, geochemical modeling\, and determination of background soil and groundwater concentrations. Jake has extensive experience in the design\, installation\, and physical and chemical performance verification of remediation systems. He brings a thorough understanding of Alberta Tier I and II Soil and Groundwater Remediation Guidelines and the British Columbia Contaminated Sites Regulation. His technical specialties include hydrogeology\, aqueous geochemistry\, geochemical modeling\, well installation and development\, aquifer testing\, groundwater sampling\, and analytical QA/QC.
