Simon currently leads the microbiology research at BGS. His team works on understanding the interactions between microorganisms living beneath the Earth\u2019s surface and their environment. This includes understanding how our use of the subsurface for waste disposal, heat extraction and energy storage affects the microbial communities that are there and how that could affect industrial operations through microbiologically influenced corrosion, bioclogging and the microbial production and consumption of gases. Our laboratory also works on methane cycling in soils, groundwater and wetlands, biomining and the stabilisation of slopes and coastal environments though microbial precipitation of minerals.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
