Characterisation of the bacterial microbiota of a landfill-contaminated confined aquifer undergoing intrinsic remediation
Abiriga, Daniel; Jenkins, Andrew; Alfsnes, Kristian; Vestgarden, Live Semb; Klempe, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Literature on microbiomes of landfill leachate-contaminated aquifers is scarce despite groundwater contaminations from landfills being common globally. In this study, a combination of microbiological techniques was applied ... -
Groundwater contamination from an old municipal landfill at Revdalen, Norway : Groundwater quality, redox conditions and feasibility of natural attenuation as a remedy
Abiriga, Daniel (Master thesis, 2017)Negative environmental impacts of landfill operations have led to establishment of stringent legislation on dumping of wastes in landfills. Emphases have been put on integration of various disciplines where experts from ... -
The microbiology and geochemistry of a landfill-contaminated aquifer
Abiriga, Daniel (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;107, Doctoral thesis, 2021-10-20)Thousands of aquifers worldwide have been polluted by landfill leachates and many more remain threatened. However, the ecology of these perturbed aquifers remained understudied. The current study incorporates aspects of ... -
A nature-based solution to a landfill-leachate contamination of a confined aquifer
Abiriga, Daniel; Jenkins, Andrew; Vestgarden, Live Semb; Klempe, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Remediation of groundwater from landfill contamination presents a serious challenge due to the complex mixture of contaminants discharged from landfills. Here, we show the significance of a nature-based solution to a ... -
Spatiotemporal and seasonal dynamics in the microbial communities of a landfill-leachate contaminated aquifer
Abiriga, Daniel; Jenkins, Andrew; Alfsnes, Kristian; Vestgarden, Live Semb; Klempe, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The microbiome of an aquifer contaminated by landfill leachate and undergoing intrinsic remediation was characterised using 16S rRNA metabarcoding. The archaeal/bacterial V3–V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was ...
