(WESTERVILLE, OH — September 12, 2011) The National Ground Water Association will offer the short course, "Advanced Data Analysis Techniques for Evaluating and Quantifying Natural Attenuation," November 9-10 in Newark, New Jersey.

This two-day short course provides the hands-on data analysis techniques required to effectively evaluate natural attenuation at sites with petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, and other contaminants in groundwater, and effectively apply monitored natural attenuation as a remediation alternative. In this course, participants will:

• Effectively analyze data to quantify rates of contaminant transport and attenuation
• Evaluate and interpret monitoring data using graphic and statistical techniques
• Understand and evaluate laboratory microbiological data
• Evaluate compound-specific stable isotope data.

This introductory- to intermediate-level course is suited to hydrogeologists, scientists, project managers, and regulators.
