EVS is working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to evaluate the risks that aquatic nuisance species, such as Asian carp, will move between the two basins through aquatic pathways.
EVS is helping with assessment, remedial action, and closure activities for nine U.S. sites where radiological and chemical contamination remains from early atomic energy and weapons programs.
The RESRAD family of computer codes is a regulatory tool for evaluating radiologically contaminated sites, specifically designed to help determine the allowable RESidual RADioactivity in site cleanup.
EVS supports federal agencies in evaluation and remediation of sites that could pose unacceptable ecological risks from chemical and/or radiological contaminants, as well as in policy and guidance development and in training.
Like detectives, Argonne scientists are studying clues from the release of carbon in thawing permafrost regions, piecing the clues together to create detailed maps to predict the impact of rising global temperatures on future greenhouse gas emissions.
In a collaborative effort to “recover, recycle and reuse,” Argonne strengthens research that addresses pollution, greenhouse gases and climate change and aligns with new policies for carbon emission reduction.
Argonne remains a good steward of tax dollars and a model for other organizations seeking to do the same by increasing cost savings and reducing their environmental impact.
