In this review, papers addressing fate and transport processes are considered first. These papers are separated into water-saturated systems, vadose zone systems and systems containing nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). Within each of these categories, the articles are further divided based on physical, chemical and biological processes relevant to each system. Papers dealing with groundwater monitoring and groundwater remediation are then treated, with papers grouped by technology. Finally, papers describing risk assessment and groundwater protection are presented.
