Masters by Research (MRes) Contaminated
Land Management
Risk-based management of historic contamination of land and groundwater
has gained international acceptance. Many countries have legislation
similar to Part IIA of the UK's Environmental Protection Act. The approach
depends on identifying, characterising and then demonstrably breaking
source-pathway receptor pollutant linkages likely to pose an unacceptable
risk. In addition, worldwide structural changes are creating large tracts
of abandoned land that require intervention before being brought back
into beneficial use. Alleviating pressure on greenfield sites, creating
sustainable communities and generating wealth requires cross-disciplinary
abilities and understanding, which this course can provide.
