This Burntwood Lecture will explore the evolution of applied environmental science activity over the last thirty years or so, from inputs to planning policies concerned with building infrastructure such as roads, housing and waste disposal sites, through a focus on the sustainable management of drought and floodwaters, into engagement with major issues concerned with water supply and sewage disposal. There will be a digression into the role environmental science can play in bringing potential murderers or negligent companies and individuals to justice, as well. Most recently, the potential of competition law to address problems of privatised monopolies with damaging environmental impacts is emerging as an area of concern, and the first landmark lawsuit is in progress currently, following public uproar over sewage disposal into England’s waterways.

If you'd like to attend the evening, it is being held at the Institute of Physics, London on December 2nd at 6pm. Come along to mingle with fellow professionals, enjoy drinks and small bites, and listen to this insightful presentation. The event is completely free to attend for all.
