# Uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis of soil pollution & remediation models (QUASPER)
(QUAntification des incertitudes et Sensibilité des modèles de Prédiction de l’Epuisement et de Remédiation des sources de pollution)

Duration: 36 months, starting in September 2020.

Partially funded by [ADEME](https://www.ademe.fr/en) through the [GESIPOL](https://appelsaprojets.ademe.fr/aap/GESIPOL2019-39-1) program.

Partnership with [BURGEAP](https://www.burgeap.fr/en/) ([Juliette Chastanet](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Juliette_Chastanet)), and [GeoRessources](http://georessources.univ-lorraine.fr/) ([Fabrice Golfier](http://georessources.univ-lorraine.fr/fr/content/golfier)).

<!-- ## Summary -->

---

Models predicting impact duration of soil pollution sources are needed to provide reliable figures to for management and construction planning .
However, they are still scarcely used for several reasons: too long delays, too high additional complecity, poor uncertainty management, lack of knowledge of predominating factors.

The QUASPER project aims at securing the use of preditive modelling by:
  1. improvement the understandings of the factors controlling the attenuation of pollution source zones;
  2. indentification of the cases where model simplifications are possible;
  3. systematic quantification of uncertainties.
