Jonny Ritson is part of the Grantham Institute-Climate Change and Environment as well as the Environmental and Water Resource Engineering section of the Civil and Environmental Engineering department of Imperial College London. His research looks at the impact of climate change on peatland biogeochemsitry and ecohydrology with respect to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) fluxes. His research also includes the engineering implications of changes to DOC at the water treatment works.
