Bryan Ulrich

Welcome to my blog. In this space I will be sharing information regarding my profession. In essense, I work for an environmental engineering consultancy, and amongst other things, we help mining companies with the waste management. I plan to update the blog on a roughly weekly basis. If you have a particularly thought-provoking question of comment, I'll do my best to respond.
