CL:AIRE is pleased to publish a new research bulletin RB22: Legacy Wastes in the Coastal Zone which is available to download here.
Legacy Wastes in the Coastal Zone: Environmental Risks and Management Futures was a four-year research project (2020-2024), funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The project brought together an interdisciplinary team of researchers (from the universities of Newcastle, Hull, Exeter, Leeds, Liverpool John Moores, Plymouth, Glasgow and the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology) and partners (CL:AIRE, Environment Agency, National Trust, Natural Resources Wales, Haskoning, Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Mining Remediation Authority). The team undertook a multi-scale assessment of the risks posed by municipal and mineral-rich legacy wastes in the coastal zone and provide a framework for their effective future management.
