Traditionally, geoenvironmental engineers have been responsible mainly for characterizing contaminated sites, designing in-situ barriers and landfills, and characterizing the use of waste materials. Recently, geoenvironmental engineers have expanded their involvement in risk assessment and remediation of contaminated sites, designing and monitoring barrier systems to contain difficult contamination, such as non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs), and developing environmentally benign large-scale reuse of waste and recycled materials. In addition, innovative waste management strategies, such as bioreactor landfills, end-uses of closed landfills, and subaqueous waste containment, are being developed. Such an expanded scope of geoenvironmental engineering requires a broader multi-disciplinary knowledge, particularly hydrogeology, geochemistry, microbiology, as well as economics and public policy. Geoenvironmental engineers are also challenged to utilize rapidly developing technologies such as sensor technologies, nanotechnologies, and information technologies into the practice of geoenvironmental engineering.The goal of this workshop is to bring together geoenvironmental researchers, practitioners and other interested persons to review the recent advances in technology and understanding, as well as identify the technical challenges in the design, operation and monitoring of geoenvironmental systems. The specific objectives of the workshop are: To summarize the current state-of-the art and the state-of-practice of geoenvironmental engineering. To identify the specific roles of geoenvironmental engineers. To identify gaps in knowledge of the current geoenvironmental systems. To explore how emerging technologies, such as sensor technologies, nanotechnologies and information technologies may be utilized for geoenvironmental systems. To identify and prioritize research needs in geoenvironmental systems. To identify geoenvironmental educational needs. To facilitate collaboration among researchers and practicing engineers.The workshop will involve participants with different backgrounds from academia, government agencies, and engineering practice. An effort will be made to include a diverse group of professionals, including under-represented minorities, and also educators from small colleges. A workshop webpage and a workshop e-mail discussion list will be set up to enable an exchange of ideas before and after the workshop towards the development of a coordinated plan specifically designed to solve subsurface pollution problems. The workshop proceedings will be posted on the workshop website and relevant web sites.

传统上，地质环境工程师主要负责描述污染场地的特征，设计现场屏障和垃圾填埋场，并描述废物的使用。 最近，地质环境工程师已经扩大了他们的参与风险评估和污染场地的补救，设计和监测屏障系统，以包含困难的污染，如非水相液体（NAPLs），并开发环境友好的大规模再利用废物和回收材料。 此外，正在制定创新的废物管理战略，如生物反应器填埋场、封闭式填埋场的最终用途和水下废物控制。 地质环境工程的这种扩大的范围需要更广泛的多学科知识，特别是水文地质学，地球化学，微生物学，以及经济学和公共政策。 地质环境工程师也面临着利用快速发展的技术，如传感器技术，纳米技术和信息技术到地质环境工程实践中的挑战。本次研讨会的目标是汇集地质环境研究人员，从业人员和其他感兴趣的人来审查技术和理解的最新进展，以及确定设计中的技术挑战，地质环境系统的运行和监测。 研讨会的具体目标是：总结当前国家的最先进的和国家的实践地质环境工程。确定地质环境工程师的具体作用。查明当前地质环境系统知识方面的差距。探讨如何将传感器技术、纳米技术和信息技术等新兴技术用于地质环境系统。确定地质环境系统的研究需求并确定其优先次序。确定地质环境教育需求。为了促进研究人员和实践工程师之间的合作。研讨会将涉及来自学术界，政府机构和工程实践的不同背景的参与者。 将努力吸收各种专业人员，包括代表性不足的少数群体，以及来自小型学院的教育工作者。 将建立一个讲习班网页和一个讲习班电子邮件讨论清单，以便在讲习班前后交流意见，制定一项专门解决地下污染问题的协调计划。 研讨会会议记录将张贴在研讨会网站和相关网站上。
