Encountering groundwater: engaging with an invisible resource
Project Description. Pressure on groundwater is increasing globally as it is considered key to water and food security in the context of climate change (UN World Water Development Report 2022). Read more
Decision support tools/systems for the remediation of geogenic and emerging contaminants in groundwater in the Global South
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Introduction. Globally, the contamination of groundwater from geogenic (e.g. Read more
GREENCDT Hydro-geochemical evolution of bentonite buffer during infiltration of saline groundwater in a generic LSSR repository
Engineered barrier system (EBS) plays a critical role in the safety of geological disposal concepts. Bentonite is a candidate buffer/backfill material, which provides key functions within EBS. Read more
Hydro-geochemical evolution of clay-based barriers during infiltration of saline groundwater
Deep geological disposal concepts are preferred solutions for the long-term management of high- level radioactive waste (or higher activity waste) in many countries. Read more
A framework for modelling groundwater flow in deep heterolithic sedimentary sequences
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London. Supervisor(s). Prof Adrian Butler (IC), Dr James Lawrence (IC) and Prof Matt Jackson (IC). Read more
Transport of microplastic and co-contaminants in soil and groundwater
Microplastics (MP) and nanoplastics (NP) are persistent polymeric contaminants. They have been found in many ecosystems on Earth, including rivers, forests, agricultural soils, beaches, deep oceans, as well as the food chain and water sources of many species including humans. Read more
In situ biological removal of nutrients in drinking water using borehole-based treatment media
Groundwater pollution by nitrate and other nutrients is an important problem worldwide, with the main source being organic or inorganic inputs from agriculture. Read more
Fate and transport of microplastics in partially saturated soils
Recent research indicates that microplastics are now ubiquitous in the environment. Read more
Reading the molecular fine print: Ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry and the environmental impact of the Athabasca oil sands industry
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. State-of-the-art mass spectrometry instrumentation (amongst world-leading). International environmental research. Read more
Modelling biochar-colloids fate and transport in the subsurface
Groundwater and soil pollution is a cause of concern for drinking-water sources, as toxic chemicals continue to contaminate subsurface reservoirs via wastewater, agricultural runoff, storm water, air pollution, and polluted soils. Read more
Hydrological controls on the Vaiont landslide
The Vaiont landslide occurred in 1963 in northern Italy and has perplexed researchers ever since. Recently, however, new geological information and interpretations have led to an entirely new framework for understanding the event. Read more
Laboratory and field measurements, and interpretation of self-potential signals that arise in response to water flow is a fractured basement rock in N-W Scotland - application to characterisation of subsurface fracture patterns
Self-potentials (SP) arise when an electrolyte (e.g. groundwater or brine) flows through a porous rock (hydrocarbon reservoir or aquifer). Read more
Improved understanding of the Vaiont landslide based on refined modelling using updated geological information
The Vaiont landslide occurred in 1963 in northern Italy and has perplexed researchers ever since. Recently, however, new geological information and interpretations have led to an entirely new framework for understanding the event. Read more
PhD at SUERC - Tracking the source of Helium in the huge Virginia Gas Project, Witswatersrand Basin, South Africa.
Summary. Natural gases found in the Witswatersrand Basin, South Africa, contain up to 15% helium, making them the richest helium deposit ever discovered. Read more
Building a barrier to arsenic accumulation in rice
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship commencing in October 2022 at the University of Aberdeen, as part of The newly established. Read more
