of western Cape Cod, described in a talk on April 9 how the 
investigation into a single "plume" or tongue of contaminated water 
underground became a 25-year gold mine of hydrology research and fueled 
an ongoing effort to rid the Cape's groundwater of pollutants.

"This is a very complicated and very expensive project involving 
hundreds of people. I'm going to tell one part of the story: how our 
understanding of the groundwater hydrology in Western Cape Cod has been 
shaped by this work," said LeBlanc, an MIT alumnus (S.M. 2001) and
