Characterization of a heterogeneous landfill using seismic and electrical resistivity data

Understanding the processes occurring inside a landfill is important for improving the treatment of landfills. Irrigation and recirculation of leachate are widely used in landfill treatments. Increasing the efficiency of such treatments requires a detailed understanding of the flow inside the landfill. The flow depends largely on the...

A seismic processing approach dedicated to quantitative characterization of landfill heterogeneities

The ability to image and quantify the heterogeneity in municipal landfills is crucial for improving the landfill treatment methods, for predicting the behaviour of processes that take place inside the landfills and hence, for estimating the after-care period. Our aim is to image the flow paths inside landfills and to quantify the heterogeneity....
