Environmental Engineering

Environmental Engineering aims to embed sustainability in the design, construction, and management of both the built and natural environment.

Our research explores the interaction of pollutants with the natural environment, with a focus on the hydrological cycle and its links to ecosystem health as well as the recovery and treatment of waste.

We specialise in:

• Catchment hydrology and rehabilitation; and
• Climate change impact assessment;
• Environmental monitoring, including water quality and greenhouse gas emission assessments;
• Modelling the fate of contaminants in the environment;
• Resource recovery and treatment of solid and liquid waste;
• Sustainable water management;
• Wind engineering assessments, with a focus on wind as an extreme atmospheric phenomena.
