Contaminated Land Biology

Contaminated Land Biology sessions looked at the biological aspects of efforts to assess and remediate contaminated land.

The sessions were co-chaired by Dr Kristian Brandt, Associate Professor, Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and Professor Mike Larkin, Emeritus Professor, School of Biological Sciences, Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland
