Andy B. Cundy is Professor of Environmental Radioactivity, and Research Director of the University consultancy and research unit GAU-Radioanalytical, in the School of Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton. Having originally studied oceanography, he graduated with a PhD in Geology from Southampton in 1994 and since then has worked at various UK Universities before rejoining Southampton in 2016. He has over 30 years research experience in the environmental cycling and behavior of aquatic and terrestrial pollutants (radioactive, metal, organic, and plastic contaminants); environmental radioactivity and radiochemistry; environmental geology; sediment geochemistry; radiometric dating; and contaminated land, wastes, and water management (including the development of more sustainable contaminated land clean-up methods). Cundy has worked across four continents in projects funded by government, environmental bodies, the European Union, and private industry, and has published over 140 scientific papers and two patents.
