Monitoring for flood management

Envirotec Magazine

The planting of shrubs and trees also helps infiltration and retention by generating a demand for soil moisture, so that soils have a greater capacity to absorb water. Monitoring NFM. Given the wide range of potential NFM benefits outlined above, the number and type of parameters to be monitored are likely to be equally diverse.

Technology will boost real-time monitoring of remote peatlands

Envirotec Magazine

Researchers will develop new ways to monitor carbon emissions from vast swathes of peatland after winning almost half a million pounds to develop new sensors that can be used in remote areas. Dr Mann and his team will work across the UK to develop low-cost sensor systems that can monitor carbon dioxide and methane emissions from peatlands.
