Fifth International Conference on Remediation of Contaminated Sediments

The International Conference on Remediation of Contaminated Sediments addresses the challenges of effectively combining scientific and engineering advances in sediments remediation and containment with assessment and management frameworks and governing policies and regulations to achieve effective environmental protection goals. Previous meetings in this series were held in Venice (2001 and 2003), New Orleans (2005), and Savannah (2007). The 2007 Conference was attended by 800 scientists, engineers, regulators, remediation site owners, and other environmental professionals, representing universities, government agencies, consultants, and R&D and service firms from around the world. The program consisted of more than 300 platform and poster presentations and four panel discussions.
