Welcome to the NERC Biogeochemical Gradients and Radionuclide Transport (BIGRAD) website

 

BIGRAD is a UK NERC funded consortium grant (led by Prof. Katherine Morris) which will develop a better understanding of the geochemical and microbiological evolution of the subsurface environment surrounding a radioactive waste geological disposal facility (GDF).

 

Further information about the science of BIGRAD can be found on the Project information page. Background information on the geological disposal of nuclear waste can be found here.  Information on our recent activities is posted on the Latest news page. Further information about the collaborating institutes and associated research staff can be found on the who we are page.
