The Groundwater Protection and Restoration Group (GPRG) at the University of Sheffield is an international centre of excellence for applied research on groundwater. The GPRG seeks to make a practical contribution to the protection, restoration and sustainable management of groundwater through international quality scientific research, supported by engineering applications and wide dissemination. Our wide remit emphasizes pollution and protection issues related to industrial pollutants, urban groundwater, landfills and deep waste repositories.
We maintain active collaborations with UK and overseas research colleagues and industry. This includes strong links with leading industrial organisations and other research institutions through support by Visiting Professors Neil Thomson, Phil Morgan, Jonathan Smith, Bob Harris and Roger Pickup. In addition, we have close collaborations with other research groups in the Environmental Engineering Science group and in particular with the Catchment Science Centre (CSC) and the Cell Mineral Research Centre (C-MRC).
