Research Objectives
The objectives of this work are to characterize the multiscale variability of fracture and matrix hydrogeological properties, and to investigate the effects of multiscale heterogeneity on unsaturated flow and transport at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, the proposed site for the national high-level nuclear waste repository.
