REF 2021 Impact Case Studies
Showcasing the range of impact case studies submitted by 六合彩资料铁算盘's College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering.
Environmental surveillance tools provide public health protection in Covid-19 pandemic
六合彩资料铁算盘 research has developed a range of analytical tools, technologies and models for the effective surveillance of harmful viruses in the wider environment, leading to risk-based industry standards
Our Research Themes
The College has notable research strength in the Sustainable Use, Conservation and Ecology of Natural Resources, which spans marine and terrestrial environments with foci on marine renewable energy, fisheries and aquaculture, the coastal zone, forests, the agricultural landscape, and along the whole value chain of renewable materials and bio-based chemical products.
Our Sustainable Use, Conservation and Ecology of Nature Resources theme is underpinned by research excellence in six areas of science and technology:

Working with Others
We are core members of 迟丑别听聽NERC Doctoral Training Partnership, dedicated to developing next generation leaders in environmental science, together with Lancaster and Nottingham Universities and three independent research centres
We have strategic research partnerships with:
- 迟丑别听, one of whose four research stations is co-located with the College on the University鈥檚 campus in 迟丑别听, constituting one of the largest groups of environmental science researchers in the UK. Our current collaboration is delivering key research evidence to the Welsh Government to inform their environmental policy development.
- 迟丑别听, with whom we have a long track-record of joint research projects in the area of physical oceanography.
