This theme operates a collection of projects that are funded directly by BGS/NERC as well as a portfolio of projects commissioned by a wide range of external customers. Our research provides information, expertise and advice on

• medical geology
• contaminated land
• point source groundwater contamination
• geomicrobiology
• mathematical modelling
• waste disposal impacts through geosphere containment research

These activities can be undertaken on local, regional, national and international scales. We have considerable experience in the solution of site-characterisation and conceptual-model development problems and can be call on a dedicated mobile field laboratory equipped with XRFS and GC-MS capability.
