Citizen-led water quality data collection: Experiences from the Santa River basin, Peru
(Copernicus PublicationsEGU General Assembly 2022, Vienna, 2022-05-23)<jats:p>&lt;p&gt;Water quality is a key consideration for both socio-economic and environmental sustainability (UN Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation). However due to both natural and ... -
Exploring local perceptions of water quality in the upper Santa River, Peru
(Copernicus PublicationsEGU General Assembly 2022, Vienna, 2022-05-26)<jats:p>&lt;p&gt;Water quality is an integral part of water security, but water quality itself is complex, due to its multifaceted nature. Measuring the physico-chemical indicators for water quality (e.g. pH, ... -
Modelling the building-related photovoltaic power production potential in the light of the EU's Solar Rooftop Initiative
(Elsevier BV, 2024-04)Decarbonizing the building sector is key to meet the EU climate goals by 2050. Although the recent policies recognized the importance of on-site solar energy production in the energy transition, there are only a few ... -
Novel use of portable gamma sensors to rapidly assess soil status and recovery in degraded East African agro-pastoral land
(Copernicus PublicationsEGU General Assembly 2024, Vienna, 2024-04-16)Soil resources in East African agro-pastoral lands are being rapidly depleted by erosion, threatening food, water and livelihood security. Here we explore the utility of innovation in portable gamma sensors to rapidly ... -
The architecture and evolution of shallow water delta mouth bars: examples from the Lower Cretaceous of Spain
(Copernicus PublicationsEGU General Assembly 2021, 2021-04-28)Improved understanding of delta mouth bar morphodynamics, and the resulting stratigraphic architectures, is important for predicting the loci of deposition of different sediment fractions, coastal geomorphic change and ... -
Leveraging Spatial Metadata in Machine Learning for Improved Objective Quantification of Geological Drill Core
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2024-03)Here we present a method for using the spatial x–y coordinate of an image cropped from the cylindrical surface of digital 3D drill core images and demonstrate how this spatial metadata can be used to improve unsupervised ... -
Modeling Low Energy Demand Futures for Buildings: Current State and Research Needs
(Annual Reviews, 2023-11-13)<jats:p> Buildings are key in supporting human activities and well-being by providing shelter and other important services to their users. Buildings are, however, also responsible for major energy use and greenhouse gas ... -
Towards the global plastic treaty: a clue to the complexity of plastics in practice
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-11-15)Following the decision of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) to start negotiations for a legally binding treaty to end plastic pollution, discussions and reflections are ongoing on why and how plastic chemicals ... -
Microplastic transport and deposition in a beach-dune system (Saunton Sands-Braunton Burrows, southwest England)
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2024-01-20)Although microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants that have been extensively studied in the marine setting, there remain gaps in our understanding of their transport and fate in the coastal zone. In this study, MPs ...
