The bodies of murder victims, either whole or in pieces, often finish up in rivers and canals. For the last fifteen years or so, Carolyn Roberts has worked as an Expert Witness with various UK police forces to apply the principles of environmental science in murder investigations. In these most tragic and gruesome settings, environmental science can help to identify where bodies have come from, or gone to. Drawing on a number of macabre case studies, the talk will take you from the details of particular cases to the general principles of tracing bodies.

The IES is proud to present the launch for Susan Owens' much-anticipated book: Knowledge, Policy, and Expertise: The UK Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution 1970-2011

There will be an opportunity to buy the book at the drinks reception after the event. 

The  annual general meeting is a perfect opportunity for members to give some necessary and much welcome feedback on the year’s achievements, and to offer input and suggestions on upcoming plans and improvements for the institute.

This year the IAQM shall provide a platform for a variety of informed observers within the air quality community to outline their responses to Defra’s draft action plans and comment on their effectiveness.

Following this series of short presentations, there will be a chaired discussion taking questions and points from the whole meeting.
