Sustainability & Environment Research Institute, University of Chester

This Sustainability & Environment Research Institute free public lecture is entitled 'Use of the Earth's subsurface for the safe and sustainable extraction and storage of energy; examples from NW England' Professor Chris Jackson is Technical Director at the engineering consultancy WSP and Visiting Professor of Basin Analysis at Imperial College London. Chris is interested in understanding how we can use the Earth’s subsurface to safely store hazardous waste (‘geostorage’) and to develop low-carbon energy resources (‘geoenergy’).

In this public lecture, he explores the possibilities of these processes and technologies for the North-West of England. When not studying the subsurface of the Earth, Chris gives geoscience lectures to the public and in schools, having appeared on several, Earth Science-focused, television productions and podcasts. Chris is engaged in efforts to improve equality, diversity, and inclusivity within science and engineering.
