Join us for this one day meeting on the Environmental Chemistry of Water, Sediment, Soil and Air for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career scientists in industry.
You will have the opportunity to share your research in a supportive environment, network with fellow early career scientists, and hear about the career opportunities available to Environmental Chemists.
A Senior Scientific Policy Advisor, currently working for Defra's Air Quality team, Ailsa Stroud has provided impartial scientific advice to the UK Government on atmospheric chemistry and air quality, climate change, global resilience and adaptation strategies and geoengineering. Following her PhD in Atmospheric Chemistry from the University of Cambridge, she spent 5 years as an Ice Core Analytical Chemist at the British Antarctic Survey, leading field programmes in both polar regions.She is also a Visiting Fellow at Ca' Foscari University of Venice.​
Dr Laura Newsome​ - ​University of Manchester
Laura is a research scientist currently working at the University of Manchester. Her research explores how microorganisms affect the fate and transport of contaminants and metals in the natural environment. For her PhD she investigated how natural microbial processes can be stimulated in the subsurface to remediate radioactively contaminated groundwater. In between obtaining her degree in environmental geology and starting her PhD, Laura spent 6 years working as a radioactive substances and chemicals scientist at the Environment Agency and as an environmental consultant.
Professor Steve Leharne - University of Greenwich
Mr Brian Graham - National Association of Home Builders
Dr Valerio Ferracci - ​Cranfield University
Dr Zoe Fleming - National Centre for Atmospheric Science​
A prize will be awarded for the best oral and poster presentation.
Please use the template provided to prepare your abstract and email it to Dr Tom Sizmur (t.sizmur@reading.ac.uk) by Thursday 16th November 2017​​
Registration is £25 for all other delegates registering before the early bird deadline on Thursday 16th November 2017 (£35 up to the standard registration deadline on Thursday 30th November 2017).
Registration will open on 1st October 2017
