Introduction of speaker:  

Dr Brain J. Reid’s research interests lie in environmental chemistry, soil science, soil biogeochemistry and the sustainable use and remediation of soils. Central to his research is the investigation of soil-contaminant-microbe interactions. Fundamental understanding of these interactions has supported applied science to develop novel approaches to predict bioavailability of chemicals in soil. He has published extensively with citation of his manuscripts totalling >1000.
