Groundwater Fate and Transport Symposium: Mass Flux – The Why, the Where and the How

Aerial Function Centre, UTS

Wednesday, 25 February 2026, 9.00am – 5.00pm

Networking Drinks, Wednesday, 25 February 2026, 5.00pm – 7.00pm

Thursday, 26 February 2026, 9.00am – 5.00pm

Presented by the Groundwater Fate and Transport Specialist Interest Group (SIG). This Symposium aims to explore the integration of mass flux techniques into decision-making processes, regulatory perspectives, prioritisation of remediation and the holistic assessment of contaminant transport and loads. We welcome contributions that highlight innovative approaches, case studies, and the use of various tools and models in mass flux assessments.

Up to 13.5 CPD Points available

Keynote Speakers

Mike Annable

Dr Mike Annable

Professor
University of Florida

Dr. Annable has been a faculty member in the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences at the University of Florida since 1992. He received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University working on soil vapor extraction of multi-component non-aqueous phase liquids. His current research interests are in physical-chemical processes related to field scale application of innovative technologies for subsurface remediation. Studies have been conducted at field sites including, Hill AFB Utah, CFB Borden Ontario, Dover AFB Delaware, NASA KSC Florida and the Sages dry-cleaner site in Jacksonville Florida. Results from these field studies are being used to define the relationship between contaminant mass removal and mass flux / plume response. Research is also being conducted on new methods for measuring contaminant flux and groundwater flow in aquifers. Research on the use of innovative tracers for characterizing fluid distributions and interfaces is being conducted at both laboratory and field scales. The use of tracers for characterizing site conditions is currently being applied at both hazardous waste sites and to assess agricultural water quality problems. Dr. Annable has published more than 120 journal articles and served as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Contaminant Hydrology.
