Monitoring soil health with field-deployable sensors and workflows suitable for lay-personsACTF summer studentship Jul 1, 2021 - Aug 25, 2021
Successful land management underpins soil health for sustainable agricultural production. However, significant amounts of nutrients are lost every year due to land degradation and poor soil management. To address this, routine monitoring of soil chem...

nutrient analysis on Winestead Drain (EA partnership) Jan 25, 2022 - Mar 31, 2022
Analysis sediment core samples nutrient levels, particularly focusing on phosphate levels to understand nutrient sources. Excess phosphates lead to eutrophication, to inform mitigation of this sources of phosphates need to be determined. Historic ph...
