Benedict Gannon
PhD Project
I am currently conducting an investigation of the effects of transport infrastructure upon the environment using ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry. This project is funded by the Central England NERC Training Alliance (CENTA) and is conducted with the British Geological Survey (BGS).
