Location of Newcastle University
MPhil supervision is normally available in the following research areas: industrial wastewater treatment; anaerobic digestion; manipulation of the fate of micro-pollutants; pollutant sequestration; bioremediation; risk assessment; sanitation and low-cost water supplies for developing countries; waste stabilisation ponds; constructed wetlands; minewater treatment; carbon neutral initiatives and geothermal energy.
Our microbiological research has a strong emphasis on understanding and engineering biological processes using ecological theory, underpinned by leading-edge exploration of molecular techniques (for example fluorescent in situ hybridisation, quantitative PCR, and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis).
To maintain our position at the forefront of environmental engineering research, we are constantly developing new areas of expertise.
Up-to-date information on our latest research can be found on the Civil Engineering and Geosciences website.
Staff research profiles can also be found on this website, including Professor P Younger (Professor of Environmental Technologies and Geothermal Energy), Professor T Curtis (Professor of Environmental Engineering), Professor I Head (Professor of Environmental Biogeochemistry), Professor D Graham (Visiting Professor from the University of Kansas), Dr P Sallis, Dr D Werner, Dr R Davenport, Dr C Mota, Dr A Jarvis, Dr J Amezaga, Dr C Paterson, and others.
