The NERC ‘Digital Gathering 23’ has now drawn to a successful conclusion, organised through the ‘Constructing a Digital Environment’ programme. Held at the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge on 10-11th July, the #DG23 International conference hosted a series of excellent oral presentation, spotlight talks, posters and masterclass workshops focussing on four of the core themes of […]
Paul Brown, Remote Sensing Scientist, Fera Science Ltd, and principal investigator of this project describe the Sentinel project and its outcomes to date, and learnings. Trees, in spite of their extremely important role in sustaining life and tackling climate change, are at risk across the UK due to a range of pests and diseases. This […]
Soil carbon sequestration is one of the most natural ways to implement negative carbon emission. Successful implementation of land based negative emission technologies requires continuous monitoring. This can be achieved by field based sensors, remote sensing, and/or smartphone apps and integration of models on cloud platforms to confirm management practice effectiveness. In this project, a […]
The first NERC ‘Constructing a Digital Environment’ (CDE) conference and hackathon ‘#CDE22’ has just finished, running over the past few days at the University of Birmingham. The Hackathon commenced on 10th July, then the conference itself ran on from Monday 11 to Tuesday 12 July. The event has been the culmination of the work underway […]
On Friday 8th April, we were pleased to welcome Malcolm Kitchen, a CDE Expert Network member, to present his webinar entitled ‘Opportunistic Data for Weather Forecasting’. This talk continued our ‘Data digitisation, rescue, and re-purposing’ webinar series. The economic benefits of accurately targeting weather warnings is driving the development of higher resolution operational forecasting models. […]
Blog credit: Louise Darroch The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data. Thanks to a handy cellular modem, an evolving data broker system and the cloud, our Coastal REsistance: Alerts and Monitoring Technologies (CreamT) project […]
On Friday 10th July we were pleased to welcome Professor Matt Mowlem of ClearWater Sensors Ltd. to present his webinar entitled ‘In-situ water chemistry monitoring: the next generation of water quality data and what to do with it’. The talk continued our ‘Sensing the Environment’ webinar series. Matt is the founder of the National Oceanography […]
On Friday 2nd July we were pleased to welcome Professor Jane K. Hart of the University of Southampton to present her webinar entitled ‘Environmental Sensor Networks: when will the revolution happen?’. The talk continued our ‘Sensing the Environment’ webinar series. Jane is a Professor of Physical Geography in the School of Geography and Environmental Science, University […]
The Coastal REsistance: Alerts and Monitoring Technologies (CreamT) project is now is full swing monitoring wave overtopping and beach levels change at Dawlish. While the lockdowns have been challenging with workshops access restricted and material supply chains impacted from the outset of the project, we still made it to the beach to collect out first […]
Professor Marion Scott, one of the CDE Expert Network members, and her research team have just produced an excellent animated ‘story map’ of their research project. This is a tale of how when the world turns upside down; engineers find a way to ‘get the job done’! The project involves plannig to develop and deploy […]
