About this Research Topic
This Research Topic calls for research papers aimed at:
• Experimental and numerical deterministic and statistical methods, including the application of GIS and ML techniques.
• Results of field and modelling investigations conducted for mapping of groundwater vulnerability at different scales.
• Geochemical processes, including sorption-desorption processes.
• Effects of climate changes, including land surface and groundwater flooding.
• Assessment of the attenuation ability of pollutants within the unsaturated (vadose) and saturated (aquifer) zones.
• Other research topics related to the assessment of soil and groundwater vulnerability and protectability.
Keywords: Groundwater Vulnerability Assessment, Risk Assessment and Decision Making, Remediation and Stewardship, Prediction and Uncertainty Evaluation, Field Observations, Numerical Modelling, Groundwater and Soil Pollution, Machine Learning, GIS and Mapping, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning Models
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements.
