  1. 💧 Exploring how contaminated mine waters behave in a carbonate aquifer — through the lens of metasomatic zoning and thermodynamic #geochemical modeling.

    Using #PHREEQC simulations, data analysis in #RStats, and geospatial visualization in #QGIS, I’m studying how mine drainage transforms groundwater systems and mineral equilibria over time.

    📘 The draft version (v0.75) of my monograph on this topic has already been downloaded 550+ times on #Zenodo — showing how relevant this issue has become for both science and environmental policy.

    It’s independent research that links theory, modeling, and practical hydrogeochemical assessment — focused on the long-term impact of mine waters in the Kryvyi Rih region.

    “HIGHLIGHTS
    • The regional pattern of IGF in west-central Florida is dominated by the characteristics of the Upper Floridan Aquifer.
    • IGF plays a major role in the available water for partitioning and watershed aridity index.
    • Groundwater pumping affects IGF, and the change in IGF counteracts the human impact on available water..."

  3. 'It will poison everything.' #NativeAmericans protest #YuccaMountain #Nuclear Waste site

    by Ed Komenda, May 22, 2019

    "“Those transportation routes go through any number of sensitive habitats where a #derailment or a truck accident could cause significant impacts on water or on wildlife that live along those transportation corridors,' Donnelly [Nevada state director for the Center for Biological Diversity] said.

    "The office of #Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford identified the complexity of waste transport as one of many reasons storing nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain does little to protect the #environment and people. Other concerns include national security (waste shipments as terrorist targets) and geology (Yucca's aquifer drains to the #AmargosaValley – home to more than 1,400 people and several #endangered species). [And is seismically unstable]

    "'#Contamination from Yucca Mountain could very easily contaminate the #aquifer,' Donnelly said, 'and thus contaminate all sorts of springs that harbor some kind of endemic life.'"
