This is a Presidential Young Investigator Award. The rate at which water infiltrates waste in a landfill has a significant impact on the rate of decomposition; hence, landfill covers need to be designed to yield controlled rates of infiltration. The hydraulic behavior of covers, however, is at the present time only crudely understood. In this research, the hydraulic behavior of cover systems will be investigated and innovative technologies will be evaluated. Stochastic models will be developed to simulate the infiltration process. The stochastic models will be validated by large scale physical models tested under actual climatological conditions.

这是一项总统年轻调查员奖。 水在垃圾填埋场中渗透废物的速度对分解速率产生了重大影响；因此，需要设计垃圾填埋场覆盖物以产生受控的渗透率。然而，目前，覆盖的液压行为只有粗略的理解。在这项研究中，将研究覆盖系统的液压行为，并将评估创新技术。将开发随机模型以模拟渗透过程。随机模型将通过在实际气候条件下测试的大规模物理模型来验证。
