More water samples to analyse for #microplastics for our analysis of all @uknationalparks.
@weswimwild is swimming through all 15 parks to collect water which my students at @BangorUni will test.
Supported by @sascampaigns
to raise awareness of the problem of #plasticpollution!

[Prof. Christian Dunn @christiandunn]

The first set of water samples for #microplastic analysis have been collected by @weswimwild from her epic swim thorough all 15 @uknationalparks, with @BangorUni, @PRCWales
& @sascampaigns!
One park down... 14 to go!

👋 MEET THE TEAM!👋

Dr Adam Charlton's researches the production of value added materials from biomass, including packaging, with an interest in biorefining. He is PI at @BangorUni for the BEACON project, a £32mn initiative investigating bio-refining in Wales

[Prifysgol Bangor @prifysgolbangor]

Mae Canolfan ymchwil newydd wedi'i sefydlu ym Mhrifysgol Bangor i astudio problem gynyddol gwastraff plastig. @PRCWales yw'r cyntaf o'i bath yn y wlad ac mae'n dwyn ynghyd amrywiaeth eang o academyddion, myfyrwyr, sefydliadau a diwydiannau.

[Bangor University @BangorUni]

A new research Centre has been established to study the growing problem of #plastic waste.

@PRCWales is the first of its kind in the country and brings together a wide variety of academics, students, organisations & industries.

[Prof. Christian Dunn @christiandunn]

Looking forward to talking at @ChesterFoE @EcoCommunities_ Eco Fair tonight 7.30pm, on becoming #plasticfree post-#COVID19.

Will be chatting about work of @sascampaigns, @friends_earth, @BangorUni/@PRCWales, & what we can all do cut plastic pollution.

👋MEET THE TEAM👋

Meet @DrSPNeill, Professor of oceanography at @sos_bangor_uni. Primarily an ocean modeller, Simon is interested in renewable energy, sediment transport and the dispersal of organisms and particles in the marine environment.

👋MEET THE TEAM👋

Meet @_niahjones, a @NERCscience funded PhD student at @sos_bangor_uni. Nia is researching into how we can model the movement of #microplastic around our marine and coastal environments, investigating where #plasticpollution comes from, and where it goes!

[Prof. Christian Dunn @christiandunn]

Great opportunity for anyone thinking of coming to @BangorUni for a postgraduate taught course or research project.
If you're interested in doing a Masters on #peatlands, #wetland science / ecology, or waterborne #microplastics, please get in-touch.
