Methods Development and Fundamental ResearchProgram scientists conduct additional research not connected directly to the aforementioned field studies. They develop knowledge and methods for the collection, analysis, and interpretation related to contamination in the hydrologic cycle. New simulation and statistical modeling tools, new methods for field and laboratory measurements of a wide range of environmental properties are developed. These tools are developed at the Programs field sites and using field data, but are applicable to a wide range of hydrogeologic settings and environmental problems. The models are used to predict the persistence and fate of contamination and to design management strategies, including monitoring networks, best management practices, and new techniques for waste disposal and remediation. New environmental-measurement techniques include:
