What’s in Our Rivers?

YorkIdeas on the Green talks

YorkIdeas, at the University of York, is teaming up with Angel on the Green – a community-owned enterprise – to bring ideas, research and engagement into York’s neighbourhoods.

On selected Monday evenings, a speaker from the University of York will set out a big idea in conversation with anyone who wants to come along and hear their reactions and ideas.

The seven-part series – free to attend for all – will explore some of the most pressing challenges our society is facing and the ideas and research that aim to solve them.

What’s in Our Rivers? 

Alistair Boxall, Professor in Environmental Science, discusses his team’s work to understand the pollution of the Rivers Ouse and Foss. Find out how their research can help us better manage the risks of chemicals, and what you can do to clean up York’s rivers.
