StormFlux: Effect of Storm Babet on Pollution Fluxes from Remobilised Mine Wastes Jan 31, 2024 - Jan 30, 2025
Historical wastes disposed in coastal zones are increasingly vulnerable to remobilisation via erosion and seawater inundation including ~2000 Ha of unprotected mining wastes dumped along the Northumbrian River Basin District Coast. Storm Babet, 18-21...

NERC Discipline Hopping - Bridging the gap from waste to novel materials Mar 1, 2022 - Mar 31, 2022
Substantial stockpiles of historical wastes have been disposed of and remain within the environment, where enduring pollution occurs. There is commercial interest in accessing these wastes for resource recovery and for generation of value-added produ...

ECPE PPF: To investigate a plastic free alternative to single use plastic sacks for co-mingled recyclate reflecting technical, social economic and environmental constraints Jan 1, 2020 - Nov 30, 2020
Scarborough Borough Council like other councils across England provide a single use plastic sack for residents to store and present their recycling in. This is because the density of housing and space available does not permit the use of a wheeled bi...
