    Notes: The purpose of this paper is to describe the nature of the environmental science (ENVR) programme at the University of Canterbury, including the links between the ENVR departments and other university departments, and between the ENVR programme and agencies and institutions outside the University of Canterbury. Such links are an important aspect of any such programme and, having decribed and analysed them, possible future directions are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The relatively new subdiscipline of environmental geophysics has grown enormously in the last five years. The size and diversity of the field, and the associated literature, is such that it is extremely difficult to keep up with even a small portion of the field. Electrical and electromagnetic (E & EM) methods, including ground penetrating radar and time-domain reflectometry, play a central role in environmental geophysics. One reason for the utility of E & EM methods in groundwater studies is the similarity in the way that current flow and fluid flow depend on the connectivity and geometry of the pores in soils and rocks. Another reason is the influence of the pore water quality on the geophysical response. More than any other geophysical technique, E & EM methods are directly affected by the presence of conductive pore fluids in the subsurface, such as leachates from landfill sites and sea water invading a coastal groundwater supply that has been placed under stress because of population expansion. The chloride ion is one of the most electrically active of the naturally-occurring ions, and allows us to detect sea water incursion; leachates from landfill sites contain the by-products of organic decay, such as acetic acid, which are generally less conductive than chloride, but nonetheless enhance the pore water and formation electrical conductivities. Landfill leachate plumes are thus easily mapped. The shallow subsurface electrical and dielectric properties exhibit hysteresis due to seasonal changes in water content; the physical properties will be different for the same degree of saturation, depending on whether the water level is rising or falling. Topographic effects are also important; an empirical correction method works well to remove a background trend in the conductivity due to changes in elevation. Heterogeneity and anisotropy of the electric properties may be related to similar effects in the hydraulic properties. New technology and the adaptation of existing technology has lead to the development of fresh instruments, such as electrode arrays towed across the ground, resistivity logging while drilling, fast-rise time TEM, NMR combined with TEM, electric quadripole, et cetera. The applications of E & EM methods cover a wide range of geographic areas and groundwater problems, but have had particularly wide use for groundwater exploration in arid and semi-arid regions, for mapping and monitoring salt-water incursion in susceptible aquifers, and for mapping and monitoring contaminants.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La décharge de Burwood, qui est utilisée par la ville de Christchurch (Nouvelle Zélande), est située sur des sables littoraux recouvrant une séquence d'aquifères et d'imperméables. Les eaux souterraines s'écoulent vers la côte, à environ 700 m de la limite de la décharge. Peu après la fin de la première phase de développement de la décharge, un dispositif a été mis en place sur les puits afin de détecter la présence de contaminants provenant de la décharge. Des fuites ont été détectées dans les puits les plus proches de la décharge. Une reconnaissance électromagnétique de surface au moyen d'un EM31 a été réalisée entre la décharge et la côte pour délimiter l'éventuel panache de pollution. Les résultats de la prospection géophysique ont permis d'identifier ce panache ainsi que d'anciens chenaux alluviaux aboutissant à la côte. En aval-gradient, le panache s'étale vers le nord et vers le sud tout en se déplaçant vers l'est en direction de la côte. A partir des résultats de la géophysique, une nouvelle série de puits a été mise en place pour confirmer la présence de concentrations élevées en lessivat. Le prélèvement d'eau porale a confirmé la présence d'un panache de lessivat.
    Abstract: Resumen El vertedero de Burwood, que presta servicio a la ciudad de Christchurch (Nueva Zelanda), está ubicado sobre arenas litorales que coronan una secuencia de acuíferos y acuitardos. El flujo subterráneo se dirige hacia la costa, situada a unos 700 m al Este del perímetro del vertedero. Tras ultimar la primera fase de construcción, se procedió a la instalación de una batería de pozos para detectar cualquier contaminante procedente del vertedero, descubriéndose lixiviados en los pozos más cercanos. También se llevó a cabo una campaña electromagnética somera (EM31) entre el vertedero y la costa con el fin de delimitar los penachos de contaminación que pudieran formarse. A partir de los datos geofísicos se logró identificar un penacho y varios paleocanales conectados a la costa. El fujo de lixiviados se inicia probablemente a través de uno o dos de dichos canales. Aguas abajo, la pluma sufre una dispersión según la dirección Norte-Sur a lo largo de su desplazamiento hacia la costa. Utilizando como guía los resultados geofísicos, se instaló una segunda batería de pozos para confirmar la presencia de concentraciones elevadas de lixiviados. El análisis del agua intersticial corrobora la presencia de una pluma de contaminación.
    Notes: Abstract The Burwood landfill, which serves the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, is situated on coastal sands underlain by a sequence of aquifers and aquitards. Groundwater flow is toward the coast, located approximately 700 m from the landfill boundary. Shortly after completion of the first phase of the landfill, an array of wells was installed to detect any contaminant from the landfill. Leachate was detected in the wells closest to the landfill. A shallow electromagnetic (EM31) survey was carried out between the landfill and the coast, in order to delineate any leachate plume that may be present. On the basis of the geophysical results, a contaminant plume and buried channels connected to the coast were identified. Leachate flow initially occurs in what is probably a channel or pair of channels. Downgradient, the plume spreads out to the north and south as it moves eastward toward the coast. Using the geophysical results as a guide, a new set of wells was installed to confirm the presence of high leachate concentrations. Pore-water sampling confirms the presence of a leachate plume.
