Welcome to the GRC
The Geoenvironmental Research Centre (GRC) is based in the Cardiff School of Engineering, in Cardiff University, Wales UK.
Performing research at the leading edge of the Geoenvironmental and Geotechnical fields with a commitment to serve local and national research needs of industry , the GRC conducts R&D solutions for a host of land environment problems with interest ranging from fundamental studies, through project based applications to commercial exploitation and development.
Fields of research at the centre include; contaminated land and clean-up technologies for contaminated land, landfill engineering, land reclamation, slope stability, soil strengthening, waste disposal including nuclear waste, engineering behaviour of unsaturated soil, heat losses from buried objects, attenuation characteristics of soils, arsenic poisoning of groundwater and the influence of environmental conditions on the performance of underground distribution systems.

Opportunities at the GRC
|
|
Currently there is an opportunity for study at the GRC in the field of Geological Disposal of High Level Nuclear Waste, specifically the thermo, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical behaviour of clay-based engineered barriers. More information.
PhD, MPhil and MSc opportunities come up from time to time and are detailed in the opportunities for study and employment sections of the site, however we are always looking for good research staff, visitors and students and actively invite speculative applications and proposals.
