The medal recognises Andy’s work in ‘Restoring ecosystems and recovering resources‘, citing his extensive research expertise in environmental microbiology and biotechnology, and his focus on

“developing clean, sustainable technologies to remediate environmental contamination, looking for ways of removing contaminants – particularly petroleum hydro-carbons (oil), but also other organic pollutants – from soils, groundwater and water bodies.”
