Tackling land contamination and how soil made it to a central London art gallery
In previous years, land contamination was seen as an impediment to making the most of a site. Groundbreaking new approaches to bioremediation have completely changed the approaches to reclaiming land and to realising its true worth. Speaking on behalf of the EBNet project, soil scientists Professor Frederic Coulon and Professor Tony Gutierrez, outline their current research and their plans for the future.At the heart of their work is the potential for using bioremediation for carbon capture, a topic that is also address in a new art exhibition at London’s Somerset House. British Society of Soil Science Past-President, Professor Jack Hannam, visited in the opening week and explains why this landmark exhibition offers an amazing opportunity to connecting the public to a scientific body of research and elevate the importance of soil science in tackling climate change and food security.You can find more details about their research hereYou can find out about EBNet Pollutants & Media theme hereThis episode is sponsored by the Environmental Biotechnology Network, or EBNet, a network in industrial biotechnology and bioenergy comprising a community of academics and industry dedicated to engineering microbio systems for environmental protection, bioremediation and resource recovery.EBNet is one of six networks in industrial biotechnology and bioenergy supported by UK research and innovation.You can find out more information about the EBNet themes covered hereTo find out more about the British Society of Soil Science, you can visit our website or keep up to date via our social media channels: Facebook: http://facebook.com/BritishSoilScienceLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/british-society-of-soil-science/X: https://twitter.com/soil_scienceInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/britishsocietyofsoilscience/
