It is with great pride and pleasure that SERDP and ESTCP announce the 2018 Projects of the Year. This year’s awards recognize scientific advances and technological solutions to some of DoD’s most significant environmental and installationenergy challenges—
- assessing the effectiveness of remediation in fractured bedrock
- improving energy efficiency and security on DoD installations
- characterization of unexploded ordnance in nearshore underwater sites
- management of endangered and at-risk species on military lands
- green processing of energetic materials
- understanding biologically mediated abiotic degradation of chlorinated ethenes in contaminated groundwater
- understanding mobility of munitions near the beach face
- modeling source-sink dynamics on DoD lands
- assessing the viability of alternative corrosion protection technologies
These projects will be featured in the slideshow on the home page of the SERDP and ESTCP website through the middle of February. Please visit the to read more about each of these award-winning projects!
