Faculty of Science and Engineering
Biography
Biography
Research in Marine and Environmental Sciences.
Researcher in the Consolidated Radio-isotope Facility (CORiF).
Qualifications
MSc, PhD
Geoff Millward obtained his Graduateship of the Royal Institute of Chemistry in 1967 by part-time study, while working at the British Rail Research Laboratories at Derby and Doncaster. Subsequently, he undetook a PhD study, at the University of Keele, of gas phase reaction kinetics related to improving the efficiency of propulsion for hypersonic flight.
He obtained his PhD in 1970 and immediately emigrated to Canada where he undertook a postdoctoral study, at the University of Calgary, on the thermal stability of fluorochlorocarbon compounds used in the manufacture the heat shields on hypersonic vehicles. During this time he published several papers in the Journal of Physical Chemistry, Faraday Transactions, the International Journal of Chemical Kinetics and the Journal of Chemical Physics. He was then invited to join Simon Bauer's research team at Cornell University, New York, to work on a NASA contract, concerned with the thermal stability of sulphur compounds. In 1972, NASA announced the termination of the "Apollo" programme and he returned to the UK with the intention of starting in a new research field.
He entered the Oceanography Department at Southampton University as an MSc student and was awarded an MSc 1973. His research project was on the reactivity of mercury, which gave him an opportunity to transfer his knowledge of kinetics and mechanisms into the aquatic field. In 1973 he was appointed as a lecturer in Plymouth Polytechnic, where he has been ever since. Over the last 35 years most of his research has concerned reaction kinetics in aquatic systems, mainly involving praticle-water interactions, as well as being being involved in major thematic programmes, such as the North Sea Project, the Land-Ocean Interaction Study (LOIS) and Environmental Diagnostics.
In 1989 he was presented with a Churchill Silver Medal by Queen Elizabeth for his work on the North Sea.

Research
Research interests
Professor Millward has 30 years research experience focussing on the development of a fundamental understanding of contaminant behaviour in marine systems and the uptake of pollutants by marine organisms and he has published over 100 technical papers on the subject.
His research has received research grants from funding agencies (including DTI, EA, EU, NERC) and commissioned work for regulatory authorities. He has successfully supervised 30 Ph.D. students, in collaboration with the Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and British Maritime Technology (BMT), on the behaviour of heavy metals (e.g. As, Cd, Hg, Pb) and micro-organic pollutants (PCBs, PAHs, surfactants). In 1989 he was awarded a Churchill Silver Medal for his studies of the North Sea.
His research involves examination of particle character, coupled with radiochemical techniques to evaluate the kinetics and mechanisms of particle-water interactions of contaminants. Evaluation of time-dependent uptake, involving a range of particle types, can be used in the development of predictive, computer-based models for contaminant transport. The results of these studies are being used to enhance the performance of advanced computer codes (ECoS and PISCES) which are capable of predicting the fate of contaminants in natural and polluted systems. Professor Millward has worked on the the Ria de Aveiro, with Portuguese colleagues, studying in the fate of Hg contamination from a chlor-alkali plant. His group has evaluated the impact of the construction of a tidal barrage, in Plymouth, for the Environment Agency.
