    Nottingham Trent University Student Protection Plan UKPRN: 10004797 Legal Address: 50 Shakespeare Street, Nottingham, NG1 4FQ, UK Contact Point for Enquires about this Plan: Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic Development and Performance) Student Protection Plan for 2020/21 academic year: Nottingham Trent University 1. Scope and identification of Risks Introduction: In accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, this plan inform students of what they can expect should a course, campus or institution close. This Student Protection Plan (hereafter “the Plan”) aims to demonstrate that Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has considered how students can continue or complete their studies or be compensated if this is not possible. The University recognises that in the event of a significant course or campus closure it will be expected to work closely with the Office for Students and its own student body to ensure that students’ interests are protected through any such change. Nottingham Trent University is a large, established, high performing and financially stable provider. We would like to reassure both our students and applicants that the risks outlined in this Plan are all very low and in the case of closure extremely low. Examples of risks to which this Plan would apply: • Loss or restriction of University status or its degree awarding powers or its designation for student support or student intake; • Decision to close the institution, a campus or a specialist facility; • Long term disruption to your course

HUBBARD School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK Email: [email protected] Tel: +44 (0)113 343 4696 Research Interests I am an environmental geochemist by training with a broad interest in contaminant transport and retardation processes. My research has spanned from simple, well-constrained laboratory experiments (e.g. U(VI) sorption, University of Bristol), through more complex column experiments (University of Leeds) to field investigations (acid mine drainage, University of Reading). My current research focus is biogeophysics. This emerging field links geophysical responses with biogeochemical transformations in the subsurface and has great potential for remotely monitoring the progress of remediation schemes and aiding in site characterisation. Education 2002-2007 University of Reading PhD Environmental Geochemistry “Acid mine drainage generation and transport processes in the Tinto River, SW Spain.” This study involved seasonal fieldwork and sample characterisation using ICP-OES, ICP-MS, XRD, 2 18 18 34 XRF and stable isotopes ( H, Owater, OSO4, SSO4). A detailed investigation of sulphide oxidation mechanisms and temporal fluctuations in mining area aqueous point inputs was combined with the first high-resolution study of autumn dissolution/flood events in the river (in collaboration with the University of Huelva) and long-term datasets from downstream to produce a coherent explanation of acid mine drainage generation and transport. 1999-2000 University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne MSc Environmental Biogeochemistry Distinction 1996-1999 University of Durham BSc (Hons) Environmental Geoscience First Employment Record Sep 2008 - present University of Leeds Postdoctoral Research Assistant – School of Earth and Environment Laboratory based biogeophysics projects involving experimental column and electrode design, geophysical monitoring (self potential and bulk conductivity), geochemical sampling and analyses of fluid samples and solid samples using a range of techniques (e.g.
