About Us
The Geo-ENvironmental Engineering (GENE) research group, based at University of Galway, investigates the fate of phosphorus and nitrogen in soil-plant-water systems and the effects of agricultural management on soil and water quality. GENE has helped develop decision-making tools to target management alternatives and remedial measures that have reduced the risk of nutrient loss from farms. Currently, GENE’s main research interests are:
(1) resource recovery and resource efficacy – use of materials for wastewater and water treatment; waste materials and chemicals as phosphorus and nitrogen adsorbents and soil amendments; recovery of precious metals; waste as energy sources and slow-release fertilisers
(2) restoration of peatlands through re-wetting: modelling impacts on hydrology and water quality
(3) soil physics – modelling of water movement through soil and management impacts for farmers
