Environmental surveillance tools provide public health protection in Covid-19 pandemic

Bangor research has developed a range of analytical tools, technologies and models for the effective surveillance of harmful viruses in the wider environment, leading to risk-based industry standards

Our Research Themes

We have identified five research themes which span the breadth of research excellence across the CoSE, with potential to draw on expertise across the University.

Crops

Sustainable food production

Our research spans production and supply, aiming to enhance sustainability of food production.

Sustainable manufacturing

Research aims to align economic growth with environmental stewardship for a sustainable industrial future.

Working with Others

We are core members of the Envision NERC Doctoral Training Partnership, dedicated to developing next generation leaders in environmental science, together with Lancaster and Nottingham Universities and three independent research centres

We have strategic research partnerships with:

  • the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, one of whose four research stations is co-located with the College on the University’s campus in the Environment Centre Wales, constituting one of the largest groups of environmental science researchers in the UK. Our current collaboration is delivering key research evidence to the Welsh Government to inform their environmental policy development.
  • the National Oceanography Centre, with whom we have a long track-record of joint research projects in the area of physical oceanography.
