Abstract :
Subsurface aqueous contamination is a widespread environmental problem often associated with legacy mining and milling sites. Bioremediation is a method to address the typically vast scale of subsurface contamination. Current bioremediation suffers from long durations between data collection and analysis performed. We present our work-in-progress on a closed-loop wireless bioremediation system, REACTS (near-REal-time Autonomous bioremediation of ConTamination in the Subsurface). We also present the initial development of a parallel algorithm that is needed for near-real-time analysis of collected geophysical data, with the intention of using this parallel algorithm for in-network processing within REACTS´s wireless sensor network.
