Delivering clean, green environments

We also explore the governance of clean, green environments and their contribution to human wellbeing. Much of our research in this challenge area considers the significant pressures that human activities in urban areas place on the surrounding environment and ecosystem health.

Research foci are on ecotoxicology, indoor and outdoor air quality, and carbon and nutrient cycling.
