New Centre for Environmental Geochemistry opens in Nottingham

The British Geological Survey (BGS) and the University of Nottingham have announced a new research facility, the Centre for Environmental Geochemistry. It brings together existing facilities and groups within the two institutions to do research that addresses some of the most pressing environmental problems we face, as well as offering teaching and training. Initially it’s focusing on three main themes – reconstructing past environmental and climate change; understanding how chemicals cycle through soils and bodies of water; and developing new tools to research the underground environment.
