In my final year of my first degree I won a Royal
Academy of Engineering International Travel Grant to conduct a field
trip studying approaches to health, safety and environmental issues in
Ghanaian industry. I teamed up with Dr William Bannerman, then a
chemistry lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and
Technology, and we spend a month of that summer visiting industries
ranging from gold mining and timber to intermediate technology centres
and scrap car recycling.
We wrote up this hugely enjoyable trip up in a report and I've also made some short photo essays below.
