Episode #38: Jamie Woodward - Understanding climate change during the Quaternary and microplastic transport and storage in river catchments
This week John spoke to Professor Jamie Woodward from the University of Manchester about two key global issues; our developing understanding of climate change during the Quaternary and microplastic transport and storage in river catchments.
Both are major examples of how physical geography research has impacted on national and global policy. Jamie’s research on microplastics in rivers is now feeding directly into the Parliamentary Inquiry into Water Quality in Rivers.
Jamie Woodward is Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Manchester.
