GeoPro Talks: Applications of Soil and Water Management Research to Environmental Remediation in Canada
This presentation highlights practical applications of soil and water management research in supporting environmental remediation across Canada. Key strategies include the use of organic amendments for soil restoration, phytoremediation for heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons, biological treatment of diesel contamination, vegetated buffers for pesticide control, and best management practices to reduce nutrient loss. All findings […]
GeoPro Talks: Best Practices for Investigating PFOS-Alternative AFF
This presentation explores the development of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), focusing on the rise of next-generation C6 foams introduced in the 2000s. Promoted as environmentally friendlier alternatives to PFOS-based AFFFs, these formulations primarily feature 6:2 fluorotelomer betaine (6:2 FTAB)—a PFAS compound that remains unregulated and lacks an approved analytical […]

GeoPro Talks: From Variability to Validation: How AI Sensors Are Standardizing On-Site Hydrocarbon and Chloride Analysis
This presentation explores the role of AISCT®, an AI-supported field sensor platform developed by TRIUM Environmental, in addressing a long-standing gap in site assessment practices: the lack of standardized field screening methods. For over two decades, regulatory bodies and professionals alike have acknowledged the need for consistent, defensible field data to support real-time decision-making, yet […]
GeoPro Talks: Source! Incorporating Forensic Chemistry into ESAs
Phil will present on how methods of data interpretation commonly applied in forensic chemistry assessments can provide valuable information for Site Characterisation. The focus of this talk will be on defining the chemical composition of a Source, and how that can be leveraged to provide information for a Conceptual Site Model.
GeoPro Talks: Novel Medias and Strategy to address Heavy Metal Removal in discharge Water, Soil and Groundwater
This presentation introduces advanced treatment methodologies for the removal of heavy metals, specifically focusing on arsenic, lead, uranium and mercury. These metals, commonly encountered in Canada’s heavy industrial sectors like oil & gas and mining, present considerable environmental challenges and have high toxicity at low concentration when found in industrial waste water, groundwater aquifer and […]
GeoPro Talks: AI in Civil & Environmental Engineering: What It Means and How to Use It
This presentation offers a high-level introduction to AI, followed by a focused look at its applications and implications in civil and environmental engineering. It will conclude with practical tips for using AI tools in day-to-day work.
GeoPro Talks: Advancing In-Situ Remediation Through Data-Driven Design and Execution
As in-situ remediation strategies continue to evolve, practitioners increasingly rely on advanced technologies to improve project design, execution, and long-term monitoring. Environmental Site Model® (ESM) represents a significant advancement in remediation planning and implementation, providing a platform for integrating high-resolution site characterization, real-time remedial tracking, and data-driven decision-making. This presentation will introduce the capabilities of […]
GeoPro Talks: Environmental Remedial Injections Techniques
This presentation will focus on the appropriate use of in-situ injections as a remedial tool for contaminated sites. It will introduce the two types of injection behaviour — permeation and fracture injection — and address the direct injection myth. The importance of injection flow rate in controlling injection mode, and how to use pressure and […]
