Christopher Barry
Doctoral Researcher, University of Birmingham.
Christopher’s research is concerned with time-variant groundwater flow and risks posed by contaminants in urban aquifer systems to wells drawing groundwater. In particular, he is investigating the behavior of contaminants leached from dense, insoluble substances (known as DNAPLs) which were extensively used by industry in the mid-twentieth century and which are now known to persist in the subsurface for decades.
