Inproceedings Reference The RESPONSE project: Reactive transport modelling of point source contamination in soils and groundwater
Point source contaminations origin from historic or current activities and occur in a variety of forms, extents and contaminants involved (e.g. landfills, industrial facilities, storage tanks, disposal of hazardous waste). Point source contaminations may pose risks to human health and the environment; it is therefore important to develop/improve current methodologies to assess the migration potential of contaminants in groundwater. Groundwater quality monitoring around contaminated sites is typically done by sampling piezometers. Modelling approaches can help to predict the spatial and temporal evolution of contamination plumes, design remediation strategies and assess health and environmental risks. Reactive transport models can potentially improve the prediction of contaminant routes, as they explicitly account for changing geochemical environments and chemical reactions during transport. In spite of recent advances, real-world applications remain scarce as these require large numbers of site-specific parameters. The aim of the RESPONSE project is to improve the use of reactive transport models that simulate the fate of inorganic and organic contaminants in soils and groundwater. More specifically, this project aims to (1) identify the minimum amount of site-specific parameters needed to predict reactive transport of inorganic pollutants (e.g. heavy metals) and (2) improve/simplify the modelling of transport of xenobiotic organic contaminants (XOC, e.g. hydrocarbons and pesticides). The transport of XOCs is particularly complex to model due to the effects and zonation of microbial activity at the plume fringe in polluted aquifers. The RESPONSE project focusses on typical groundwater pollution problems encountered around old municipal landfill sites and cemeteries. Municipal landfills can still release hazardous pollutants such as heavy metals and XOCs, even if they are covered by fresh ground layers after abandonment. Cemeteries can be considered a special case of landfill, releasing various compounds to the environment such as arsenic, mercury, bacteria, viruses and herbicides. Both location types are potential point sources for mixed groundwater pollution, typically including high concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), heavy metals and XOCs. The methodology in this project involves both experimental and modelling aspects. During the first screening stage, groundwater samples were collected from shallow piezometers at fifteen contaminated sites across Belgium (municipal landfills and cemeteries). Also, an improved reactive transport model is built based on HYDRUS1D-MODFLOW-PHREEQC to explicitly account for the dynamic behaviour of chemical conditions at the soil-ground water interface. Next, based on laboratory analyses, three case-study sites will be selected for further modelling and testing.

Book Reference BICEpS Annual report 2019 – Reinforcing Belgian ICES People
The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES; French: Conseil International pour l'Exploration de la Mer, CIEM) is an intergovernmental marine science organization that brings together the efforts and knowledge of 20 Member States, bordering the North Atlantic and the Arctic Circumpolar Zone, on physical oceanography, marine ecosystems and fisheries management. Nowadays, more than 80 Belgian scientists are directly involved in the work of the 150 bodies and expert groups of ICES, which gather the expertise of more than 1500 scientists yearly, totalling up to 5000 scientists from over 700 marine institutes and organizations over the years. This important and often voluntary dedication of Belgian scientists to the work of ICES deserves more visibility among the Belgian scientific community itself and to policy makers.This is, among others, why the BICEpS initiative was launched in 2018. BICEpS general aim is to offer a platform to the Belgian ICES community to get to know each other, to improve collaboration and share information, and to promote ICES to the wider scientific community in Belgium. BICEpS Annual report 2019 presents the second year of activity of this initiative created to reinforce Belgian ICES people. The report targets marine scientists, marine managers and policy makers. It presents the results of the initiative so far. The report contains the list of Belgian ICES members in 2019 with their membership to the different ICES working groups, and the results of the second BICEpS Colloquium organised on 2 December 2019 and hosted by ILVO in Ghent (Summary of the sessions, abstracts of communications presented and list of participants). The abstracts of the colloquium are supplemented by a separate annex published online which assembles the PowerPoint presentations of the colloquium accessible at http://ices.dk/community/groups/Documents/BICEPS/BICEpS19-PPT-presentations.pdf This report is accessible on the ICES website at http://ices.dk/community/groups/Pages/BICEpS.aspx

Article Reference Les monuments funéraires gallo-romains et l’emploi de la pierre dans la région occidentale de la Civitas Treverorum
1. Les monuments funéraires trévires 1.1. Introduction Les monuments funéraires des Trévires sont le sujet de deux projets de recherche, menés par l’Académie des Sciences Autrichienne en coopération avec l’Université de Luxembourg d’une part et l’Université de Francfort et le Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier d’autre part (Mahler, 2017). L’objectif de cette contribution est de présenter quelques réflexions préliminaires sur les analyses pétrographiques effectuées dans le cadre du projet austro-luxembourgeois. La cité des Trévires, située en Gaule Belgique, est appréciée depuis longtemps pour la quantité et la richesse de ses monuments funéraires de l’époque gallo-romaine, dont ceux provenant de Neumagen (von Massow, 1932) et d’Arlon (Espérandieu, 1913 ; Colling et al., 2009), pour ne citer que les ensembles les plus célèbres. Toutefois, cet ensemble n'a jamais fait l'objet d'un traitement scientifique et d'une évaluation exhaustive, étant donné que la zone d'étude est située à la frontière linguistique franco-allemande et comprend quatre États modernes (Kremer, 2018a ; Kremer, 2018b). De plus, les nouvelles découvertes des dernières décennies, comme celle du mausolée de Bertrange (Krier, 2003 ; Kremer, 2009) ou des monuments du Titelberg (Kremer, 2019), apportent des éclairages nouveaux sur l'évolution de la situation dans cette région et invitent à une enquête approfondie de l’ensemble des monuments connus. Dans le cadre du projet austro-luxembourgeois sur la partie occidentale de la civitas Treverorum, des analyses pétrographiques ont été initiées d’abord afin d'assurer une caractérisation et une détermination de provenance correctes des matériaux pierreux utilisés, ensuite afin d'obtenir des données nouvelles sur des questions d'organisation d'ateliers, de chronologie ou de relations économiques. Nous espérons contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de l'utilisation de la pierre dans le Nord de la Gaule, où la région trévire constituait une tache blanche sur la carte (Boulanger & Moulis, 2018). Une sélection représentative a été faite parmi les monuments accessibles de la zone de recherche ; toutefois, en l’absence d’exhaustivité, les résultats concernant la fréquence d'apparition des matériaux n’ont pas de valeur statistique. Ont été analysés les blocs de monuments funéraires exposés dans les musées de Luxembourg (MNHA), Arlon, Virton, Buzenol et Trèves. Des prélèvements ont été réalisés sur une série d’échantillons mise à disposition par le Centre national de recherche archéologique (CNRA) du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg. - Joint project FWF/FNR I 2269-G25: « Funerary Monuments from Western civitas Treverorum in an Interregional Context. The Inter-Connected Evaluation of a Socio-Historically Relevant Category of Finds ». Direction de projet : Gabrielle Kremer, ÖAI/ÖAW (lead) et Andrea Binsfeld, UniLu. Nous remercions les membres de l’équipe Sophie Insulander, Jean Krier, Sebastian Mühling et Christine Ruppert ainsi que les collègues du CNRA et du MNHA Luxembourg, du IAL et des Musées d’Arlon, Virton et Trèves. - Projet financé par la DFG : « Römische Grabdenkmäler aus Augusta Treverorum im überregionalen Vergleich: mediale Strategien sozialer Repräsentation ». Direction de projet : Anja Klöckner et Markus Scholz, Univ. Francfort, et Marcus Reuter, RLM Trier.
