This project is researching and developing the capacity within local and community resources to generate water and energy from beneath the surface of the land. It is a large and exciting environmental sustainability project, starting in May for 3 years (the EPSRC contribution is £1,330,441.31). Mia's role will be focused on ensuring the social, community, and qualitative aspects of the research, engagement and education around the project.

The PI is Paul Younger (University of Glasgow, Engineering), and the other Co-I’s are Zhibin Yu (University of Glasgow, Engineering), Elias Teklemariam (University of Addis Ababa), L He (University of Oxford), Adrian Boyce (Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre), and Mia. She will also be working closely with Neil Burnside (UG Engineering), who is also involved in an existing project in the same general field of work.
