-Bioremediation is the use of micro-organism metabolism to remove pollutants. Technologies can be generally classified as in situ or ex situ. In situ bioremediation involves treating the contaminated material at the site‚ while ex situ involves the removal of the contaminated material to be treated elsewhere. Bioremediation can occur on its own (natural attenuation or intrinsic bioremediation) or can be spurred on via the addition of fertilizers to increase the bioavailability within the medium (biostimulation)

the footprint of what is now the Mississippi Embayment. As the very large arch that formed up to three kilometers high and then subsided just as much below sea level‚ what had been the crest of a high‚ arched mountain range became inundated with seawater and was eventually buried by as much as 2.6 kilometers of marine sediment.
