Prof Donald E Macphee
Prof Donald E Macphee is a physical chemist working at the interface between chemistry and materials science. He was appointed to the University of Aberdeen in 1992 and has since established research activity in the areas of cement science, photocatalysis and fuel cells with an emphasis towards environmental beneficial technologies. He has participated in Nanocem, a European network of academic and industrial cement researchers, since its formation and holds Nanocem research grants as well as Marie Curie Research Training funding and industrial funding to undertake research on alkali-activated aluminosilicate systems and photocatalytic cement systems.

The revolution of microbial biosensors in environmental analysis has not yet been realised. In part this is because regulators remain more comfortable with traditional chemical analysis, in part because of the lack of credible field-scale trials. Here I will report on the coupling of chemical and biosensor approaches to better understand the modes of action of chemicals during environmental exposure. In the first instance biosensors have enabled us to understand the fate and impact of metals in the environment and this has aided us in hazard assessment models. Examples of genuine environmental sites will be considered. Furthermore, when coupled to clever non exhaustive extraction techniques we are able to relate biosensor responses to issues such as biodegradation which allows significant developments in the evolution of remediation techniques and pollutant mitigation. Remedios have coupled such approaches to decision support tools to underpin sustainable land remediation at the site scale.

Sabine Houot
Sabine Houot is a scientist of INRA ((French Institute for Agriculture research) at Grignon, near Paris. She got a PhD in soil Science at the National Institute of Agronomy in Paris (France). She is at the head of a team of 30 persons working on (i) waste use in agriculture, (ii) behavior of pesticide and other organic and mineral pollutants in soil, (iii) spatialisation of soil properties. She is directly in charge of all the programs on waste use in agriculture dedicated to: C storage in soil after application of organic amendments, N availability in exogenous organic matters, fate of organic pollutants during composting then after compost application on soil. The general objective is to relate the characteristics of the exogenous organic matters to their effect on soil-plant-water system after application. For that purpose, long-term field experiments are conducted in various locations in France.

Patricia Garnier
Patricia Garnier is a scientist of INRA (French Institute for Agriculture research) at Grignon near Paris. She got a PhD in soil science from the University of Nancy in France. She did a post-doc at Cornell University where she studied facilitated transport of protozoan in soils. She is interested in modeling soil process like water transport, organic matter transformation, soil structure dynamic, pesticides movements. She participated to several projects about the dynamic of carbon and nitrogen in conservation tillage. Recently, she was involved in programs to simulate the dynamic of organic micro-pollutants in soils. In 2009, she was awarded a grant for China-France exchanges with the Chinese Academy of Science to study the dynamic of organic pollutants during the composting process of organic wastes and soils.
