Publication number: 20230260599Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method of quantifying soil carbon in a unit of land. The method generally comprises the steps of (i) obtaining an estimated spatial distribution of carbon content in the unit of land, (ii) stratifying the unit of land into a plurality of strata based at least partly on the spatial distribution of carbon content, (iii) selecting one or more locations from each of one or more of the plurality of strata, the one or more locations being selected with randomness, (iv) determining sample carbon content associated with the one or more first locations and (v) determining total carbon content in the unit of land based at least partly on the sample carbon content. In another aspect, this method may be used to quantify soil carbon sequestered in a unit of land by repeating steps (iv) and (v) at a second time and thereafter determining the amount of carbon sequestered.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Alex McBratney, Budiman Minasny, Jaap De Gruijter, Philip James Mulvey

Patent number: 8425151Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method of soil remediation or bioremediation 10 generally comprising the steps of: 1. 12, treating contaminated soil with a chemical surfactant in a primary treatment stage; 2. 14, further treating the soil with an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon; 3. 20, implementing final soil remediation processes where necessary until remediation criteria is achieved. The contaminated soil includes organic contaminants including, among other things, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2007Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Environmental & Earth Sciences International Pty LtdInventor: Philip James Mulvey
