APPENDIX D
CURRENT GRADUATE STUDENTS IN GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
Graduate students in the Department of Geological Engineering are
involved in a wide variety of projects, many of which are highly inter-
discliplinary in nature. While the department offers an M.S.in Geological
Engineering, the lack of a Ph.D program in Geological Engineering means
that most Ph.D. students working in engineering are either in the Geology
Ph.D. program or in the interdepartmental Environmental Engineering,
Geotechnical Engineering, or Sensing and Signal Processing Ph.D.
programs. The interdiscliplinary nature of the engineering programs at both
M.S. and Ph.D. levels has led to Faculty in one department advising
graduate students in another departments degree program. This is
especially true at the M.S. level in Geological Engineering and Civil
Engineering. This blurring of departmental boundaries emphasizes the
close cooperation among departments at Michigan Tech, and underlines
the interdisciplinary nature of the research.
The faculty members involved in advising engineering related graduate
theses include:
John S. Gierke, Assistant Professor of Geological Engineering
Neil J. Hutzler, Professor of Civil Engineering
Alex S. Mayer, Assistant Professor of Geological Engineering
S. Douglas McDowell, Professor of Geology
Carl C. Nesbitt, Assistant Professor of Metallurgical Engineering

Proposed Research Title: Application of Microwave and Acoustic Wave
Techniques to Characterizing the Shallow Subsurface Porous Media
Abstract: This research is concerned about relating the complex dielectric
permittivity spectrum and acoustic wave velocity as well as attenuation
spectra of a porous medium to its intrinsic characteristics such as
permeability, grain size distribution and fluid content. The ultimate goal
of this research is to design an appropriate tool to directly detect the
presence of common organic contaminants and quickly measure the
intrinsic permeability of the shallow subsurface media. More specifically,
the first part this research will involve conducting the measurement in
time domain of the EM wave and sound wave propagation through the
unsaturated porous media and the measurement of EM wave and
ultrasonic wave propagation through the saturated porous media. The
second part is about signal processing and spectral estimation based on
the time-domain measurement data and relate these spectra to the intrinsic
characteristics of the porous media. The last part is to design a tool for
field engineering testing and field applications.

A Geotechnical Characterization of Linar Soil and Lunar Soil Simulant
Grant Funding: MTU Graduate School Fellowship/IMP Academic Grant-
/NASA-JRC Fellowship
Abstract: Initial analysis of returned lunar samples focused on the
scientific questions of the origin and history of the moom. As plans are
being made to establish a permanent human presence on the moom, lunar
sample analysis is taking a new focus. This project focuses on
characterizing lunar soil as a geotechnical material that will be used in
the construction of a lunar base. 286 grain size analyses of lunar soil
are compared, and size distribution is correlated to impact hsitory.
Fractal grainshape analyses of 224 lunar soil grains have been performed,
and the results related to the manufacture of simulant for geotechnical
experiments. The mechanisms of lunar soil are studied, and tensile test
results indicate that mechanical interlocking of re-entrant sould particles
is the primary cause of lunar soil cohesion. Shear strain segregation is
identified as a mechanism in which fine granular materials sort by size in
a vacuum. Experimental investigations of size segregation in granular
materials have led to insights into the structure of wind-blown sand
ripples. Lunar simulant soil has been successfully sintered into large,
strong, crack-free structural bricks using hydrid microwave heating. The
bricks were made without binders or additives, minimum greenbody,
densification, and a particle size distribution like that of unsorted lunar
soil. These simple direct methods are well suited to future flight
experiments.
Gretchen L. Hein, PhD. Candidate (Expected Graduation: May, 1996),
Advisor: Neil J. Hutzler
Quantification of the Mechanisms Controlling the Removal Rate of Volatile
Contaminants by Air Sparging
Grant Funding: Department of Education Fellow
Abstract: The objectives of this study are to identify and quantify the
mechanisms controlling the removal of dissolved contaminants by air
sparging. They will be completed by developing numerical models that
include mass transfer relationships and the effects of varying the sparging
finger and the zone of influence geometry. The numerical results will be
compared to soil column experiments.
Changlin Huang, PhD. Student (Expected Graduation: May, 1996), Advisor:
Alex S. Mayer
Dynamic optimal control for groundwater remediation management with
genetic algorithms
Grant Funding: MTU Grad School Fellowship/USDA Match
Abstract: An innovative numerical method, the genetic algorithm, is
combined with a three-dimensional flow and solute transport simulation
model. This approach is used to solve optimal discrete-time control
problems involved in groundwater pump-and-treat remediation with multiple
management periods. The advantages of the method include, 1) no
restrictions of the problem itself, 2) few restrictions or assumptions on
continuity of derivatives, and 3) no cumbersome calculations of partial
derivative matrices that are usually required to overcome highly nonlinear,
nonconvex and local optimum problem. The methodology is developed to
address the problem in three dimensions with a more reasonable
performance index accounting for the nonlinear function of both pumping--
related variables and treatment-related variables. These considerations add
difficulties for traditional gradient-based numerical approaches but do not
present problems for the genetic algorithm.
Robert J. Mitchell, Ph.D. Candidate (Expected Graduation: September,
1995), Advisor Alex S. Mayer
A Modeling Study of the Relative Significance of Nonideal Physical
Phenomena and Porous Media Heterogeneity to Nonreactive Solute
Transport in the Vadose Zone
Grant Funding: Department of Education Fellow
Abstract: There are several nonideal physical phenomena that influence
nonreactive solute transport in the vadose zone. These include transient
flow, hysteresis, and mobile-immobile mass exchange. The majority of the
research regarding the impact of nonideal physical phenomena on transport
has been conducted with homogeneous porous media. Heterogeneities in
porous media also influence transport in the vadose zone. The possibility
exists that there is a degree of heterogeneity that may mask the effects of
nonideal physical phenomena on solute transport at a given scale.
Numerical experiments will be used to investigate the relative significance
of these physical processes to solute transport in the vadose zone.
John L. Uhrie, PhD. Candidate (Expected Graduation: May, 1996), Advisor:
Carl Nesbitt
In-Situ Chemical Immobilization of Heavy Metals
Grant Funding: Departmental PhD. Fellow
Abstract: Aqueous metals will rapidly precipitate in the presence of
sulfide ion and will remain stable under a wide range of conditions.
Current research is aimed at precipitating metals in natural systems
in-situ by injection of sulfide and examining effectivness of the
procedure, the mechanics of the precipitation and immobilization
mechanisms, and how this may alter site hydrogeologic properties.
James W. Vallance, Ph.D. Student (Expected Graduation: July 1994),
Advisor: William I. Rose
Experimental studies related to the behavior of granular mass flows and
the characteristics of their deposits
Grant funding: MTU Graduate School Fellowship, National Science
Foundation Grant
Abstract: An experimental study of granular mass flow has been
undertaken because, despite an intensive study of deposits and mechanics,
the behavior of naturally occuring granular mass slows like debris flows,
pyroclastic flows, and debris avalanches are poorly understood. Steady
uniform flow of dry granular particles down an inclined chute behave in a
way that can be modelled semi-empirically by balancing the driving forces
with the sum of the Coulomb frictional drag and collisional drab calculated
from kinetic theory, then solving for average velocity in terms of depth of
flow, slope function, bed friction and dynamic internal friction. For
avalanches down an incline into a horizontal runout, a depth-averaged,
Lagrangian, finite difference scheme using the Mohr-Coulomb constitutive
relation and a Coulomb basal friction sliding law gives good agreement
with experiments for the shape of the pile and runout distance even though
it does not account for the deformation that occurs in experiments.
Uniform steady flows segregate particles more strongly according to their
size than according to their density. Steady uniform flow of small and
large particles show segregation patterns and have velocity profiles than
contradict the dispersive stress hypothesis but are compatible with the
kinetic sieve hypothesis for size segregation. Avalanches of randomly
mixed large and small particles will sort the large ones to the top and
front of the flow, and the small ones to the base and rear of the flow. If
deposition of such a flow occurs en mass, then graded bedding in the
deposit reflects the vertical segregation of the moving flow, but if
deposition occurs by accretion at the base of the flow during a significant
time interval, then the graded bedding reflects longitudinal segregation of
the moving flow.
Congli Wang, PhD. Student (Expected Graduation: December, 1994),
Advisor: John S. Gierke
Modeling in situ, thermally enhanced SVE coupled with soil-mixing for
removing VOCs from clay soil
Grant Funding: MTU Grad School Fellowship/USDA Match
Conclusions:
This process enhances removal rate, especially at a temperature
range of 20O to 40O C
For the soil studied, removal rate is mass transfer limited
Steam injection is best to raise soil temperature, but it may cause
soil flooding
The most advantageous injection scheme is dry air with externally
-supplied power
Methods: Model development and experiments are conducted in parallel;
complexity of the model is created stepwise.
Future work:Inclusion of NAPL phase; evaluation of soil-mixing; simulation
of field demonstration.

John S. Gierke
Organic Chemical Interactions in Clays and Their Removal by Vapor
Extraction
Grant Funding: National Science Foundation
Abstract: Clay soils are used for liners in waste containment ponds and
landfills, waste covers and slurry walls for groundwater protection. Clays
are used because they have a low hydraulic conductivity and, thus, prevent
flow. Organic chemicals, however, can alter the particle structure of clay
and cause increases in fluid conductivity. The objective of this research
is to: (1) quantify the structural changes of clays when they are permeated
by organic liquids, (2) determine the distribution of the organic
contaminant in permeated clays, and (3) examine the feasibility of removing
volatile organics from clay by vapor extraction. All three objectives will
be conducted in one study through column experiments utilizing Flexible
Wall Permeameters.
Michael E. Breidenbach, Masters Student (Expected Graduation: August,
1994), Advisor: Alex S. Mayer
Mechanistic Relationships for Physical Nonequilibrium Phenomena in
Vadose Zone Solute Transport
Grant Funding: National Science Foundation
Abstract: Column experiments of conservative solute transport through
unsaturated media will often produce breakthrough curves exhibiting early
breakthrough and tailing. This suggests zones of mobile and immobile
water may be present within the media. If the early breakthrough and
tailing were also observed in the field, the result could be the
acceleration of solute down through the vadose zone, plus the persistence
of chemical in the vadose zone for an extended length of time.
Non-reactive, non-volatile, non-sorbing solute in a homogeneous porous
media has not been characterized sufficiently for the range of physical
conditions expected in the field yet to warrant focusing on more compli-
cated systems. Objectives of this current research is to observe the
effects of transient flow on the exchange of a conservative solute in
unsaturated column systems, and to determine whether the steady-state
Mobile-Immobile Model parameters can be used effectively in a 1-D,
transient-flow, miscible displacement model.
Michael D. Carpenter, Masters Student (Expected Graduation: May, 1994),
Advisor: John S. Gierke
Vapor Phase VOC Transport in Physically Mixed Clay Soils
Grant Funding: Department of Energy
Soil column experiments were conducted to quantify temperature effects on
the transport of Trichloroethylene (TCE) in a physically mixed clay soil.
An existing mathematical model was modified to simulate contaminant
transport in a soil column. A model sensitivity analysis for 20o, 40o and
60o C was conducted on liquid and gas diffusion, air-water partitioning,
and water-soil partitioning. The sensitivity analysis showed contaminant
transport is most sensitive to air-water partitioning coefficient (Henry's
constant). To date, laboratory experiments have been inconclusive in
determining temperature effects on chemical transport. However,
experimental results were conclusive in validation of the mathematical
model.

Advisor: Alex S. Mayer and Sheryl Marlor
Development of an Efficient Pre- and Postprocessing Framework for
Groundwater Flow and Transport Models
Grant Funding: State of Michigan Research Excellence Fund (REF)
Abstract: The use of groundwater flow and transport models is hindered
by the lack of adequate graphical tools for assembling input data sets and
analyzing output. The purpose of this work is to create a software
interface within a design software that will allow the user to easily input
data, create a model grid, send the grid to an external model, and
visualize the results from the model.
Tammi L. Johnstone, Masters Student (Expected Graduation: February,
1995), Advisor: John S. Gierke
Modeling of Pollutant Transport via Unsaturated Preferential Flow
Grant Funding: United States Department of Agriculture
Pesticides are very prevalent groundwater contaminants. It is therefore
important to be able to model their transport through the subsurface to the
water table. A finite element code is being developed modeling pesticide
transport under gravity driven conditions. Emphasis is being placed on
vertical and horizontal diffusion into areas of no flow. Modeling efforts
will be coupled with laboratory work for verification purposes.
Christopher L. Wojick, Masters Student (Expected Graduation: May, 1994),
Advisor: Neil J. Hutzler,and John S. Gierke
Laboratory Measurement of Moisture Content and Pesticide Transport in
Unsaturated Soil Under Gravity Driven Preferential Flow Conditions
Grant Funding: United States Department of Agriculture
Abstract: Moisture content and solute transport parameters for gravity
driven preferential flow in unsaturated soils were measured in laboratory
experiments for validation of a numerical solute transport model. Aqueous
two-dimensional preferential flow fingers were analyzed in plexiglass
encased thin sections of quartz sand. Tracer experiments were conducted
to measure transport parameters. Simultaneous light transmission
monitoring was used for moisture content determination.

* Evolution of sedimentary basins. Both field methods (including
sediment characterization studies, depositional environment
interpretations, documentation of sediment dispersal patterns and
paleogeographic reconstructions) and numerical modeling (of
tectonics, sediment transport and sea level change) are utilized to
investigate basin formation and development. Previous and
continuing research focuses on modern and ancient fluvial, lacustrine,
eolian and deltaic environments in rift and foreland basins.
Particular areas of interest include: the Utah, Idaho, Wyoming thrust
belt (Cretaceous), the Lake Superior basin (Precambrian and Recent),
Permian-Triassic boundary stratigraphy and tectonics (central Utah),
and the Newark basin (Mesozoic, eastern North America), Gulf Coast
(Cenozoic), Michigan Basin (Devonian).
