Innovative new study to monitor Scotland’s water from space
Dr Claire Neil, a Research Fellow in Biological and Environmental Sciences, is leading the project with SEPA, funded through a NERC Knowledge Exchange Fellowship.
Particle profiling
A new study has found high concentrations of small particles in the air in the Copenhagen Metro.
Fume faculties
Underpinning the effort to comply with marine emissions regulations is the monitoring of these exhaust gases, and instrumentation seems an indispensable support for marine operators under pressure to make good decisions with respect to things like fuel selection and the specification of scrubber systems. Envirotec asked continuous emissions monitoring expert Protea for insight into the topic.
