The Raquel and Manuel Klachky Chair in Subsurface Hydrology

The main research activity of the Chair is in modeling flow of water and transport contaminants in the upper soil layer and in aquifers. Subjects of environmental concern such as transport of radioactive waste in highly heterogeneous formations, motion of chemically reactive contaminants, modeling of multiphase flows at field scale, will be investigated in the coming years. Research on the impact of uncertainty upon hydrological prediction will be also pursued
