Cleaner water, less CO2 and putting out the garbage
Professor Susan Stipp, University of Copenhagen

Abstract
The industrial age and the electronic age have increased society’s standard of living but they have also increased our rate of converting resources to waste. However, technology has also given us instruments that allow us to see at the nanometer scale. Now we can watch as molecules react, offering enormous potential for gaining insight into how nature works. Hopefully, new understanding of nature’s secrets, about how fluids interact with natural materials, will help us avoid future damage to the environment and let us repair carelessness of the past.

Professor Susan Stipp

She is Fellow of the Geochemical Society and External Board Member of BP plc, as well as past Principal Editor of Elements and Founding and Principal Editor of the completely new Geochemical Perspectives.
