The research group as defined by Jean Paul Woyton,
a Master student:
"We are an international group of environmental students working both
independently and together to reach achievements on personnel levels
and for the local community and in ways that may benefit the environment
as a whole".
Our research group works on environmental issues of international,
national, and local concern. We hope our work will promote understanding
of environmental issues, support policy making, and assist the development
of treatment technologies to minimize or eliminate environmental pollution.
