Prof. Dimitrios Zekkos will deliver a State of the Art talk on "Autonomous characterization of full-scale field response of Municipal Solid Waste" at the Geofrontiers conference. The talk will describe the opportunities for better insights into the full-scale response of Municipal Solid Waste in landfills by incorporating autonomy. The talk will include specific examples of applications related to settlement behavior and methane emissions. The presentation is based on work conducted by researchers Dr. Youngseok Jo, PhD student Yitong Yang at UC Berkeley, past-student Cassandra Champagne at the University of Michigan and collaborator John Manousakis from ARGO-E Group.
