About The Geoenvironmental Research Centre
The Geoenvironmental Research Centre (GRC) is based in the Cardiff School of Engineering, Cardiff University. The school is established as a centre of excellence within Europe, with modern laboratories and state of the art computer facilities. 
The mission of the GRC is to conduct research and development to provide solutions to land environment problems such as remediation of contaminated land, pollution control and risk assessment.
GRC carries out research on a broad front of problems, with its interest ranging from fundamental studies, through project based applications to commercial exploitation and development. However, its commitment is to serve the local, national and international research need of the geoenvironmental industry.
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.
Computer based projects are provided with High performance, up-to-date powerful computing facilities, especially for CPU intensive computational analysis. For experimentally based research, a range of state of the art, first class and comprehensive testing facilities are available.
The GRC consist of a number of specialists, engineering and other discipline researchers and industrialists with a broad range of scientific and project management experience, and excellent expertise in a wide range of Geoenvironmental and Geotechnical fields.
