It is with great pride and pleasure that SERDP and ESTCP announce the 2019 Projects of the Year. This year’s awards recognize scientific advances and technological solutions to some of DoD’s most significant environmental and installation energy challenges—
- remediation of contaminated groundwater
- classification of munitions in underwater and terrestrial environments
- restoration of degraded ecosystems on DoD lands
- understanding degradation mechanisms of DoD specialty coatings
- treatment of wastewater from DoD facilities
- improving energy security on DoD installations
- management of threatened and endangered species on DoD lands
- protecting DoD assets from the effects of corrosion
These projects will be featured in the slideshow on the home page of the SERDP and ESTCP website through the middle of February. Please visit the SERDP and ESTCP blog to read more about each of these award-winning projects!
