Current activities
Dr Emma Goslan is currently working with Yorkshire Water on a year long source water characterisation project. The aim of the project is to determine whether there is a link between water character, treatability and disinfection by-products formed. She is also working on a desk based project sponsored by DWI/DEFRA and led by CSL (York) looking at the fate of pesticide metabolites in the watershed.
Emma’s key areas of competence are in water characterisation, disinfection by-product formation and water chemistry.

Background
Dr Emma Goslan has been working in the Centre for Water Science since November 2003. Having obtained her EngD in Organics Characterisation in 2003, she joined Cranfield to work as a Post Doctoral Research Officer in the Centre for Water Science. Emma is a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC).
Her current research interests centre on drinking water disinfection by products and their precursors. Emma has recently completed a survey commissioned by the Scottish Government comparing the by-products formed by chlorination and chloramination. The survey was carried out in conjunction with Cranfield Health. She has also recently finished working on a project sponsored by the American Water Works Association Research Foundation that investigated the biodegradation of haloacetic acids (disinfection by products). Emma is currently working with Yorkshire Water to elucidate the link between water character and disinfection by-product formation.
