The environmental sector has witnessed a steep increase in the number of published studies promoting knowledge brokering as a solution for bridging the alleged science—policy gap. A critical review exposed knowledge brokering ...

Greenhouse gas removal technologies (GGRT) are needed to meet the UNFCCC aim to limit the global average temperature increase to 2°C above pre-industrial levels. GGRTs vary in carbon sequestration potential, readiness ...

The agricultural demand for inorganic phosphate fertilisers needs to be reduced whilst the dependence on more sustainable sources of phosphorus, such as sewage sludge, is increased. However, the presence of heavy metals ...

The present work aims to assess the feasibility of using an ostensibly low-cost polypropylene (PP) material for processing municipal wastewater from the University sewage works. Two different types of hydrophilic membranes ...

This work investigates the use of advanced image classification techniques for improving the accuracy and efficiency in determining agricultural areas from satellite images. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ...

An important issue to be considered in the structural integrity assessment of offshore wind monopile structures is the influence of material pre-straining on the fracture toughnessnd fatigue crack initiation and growth ...

Corrosion fatigue has a detrimental influence on structures, particularly those used in harsh marine environments. Offshore structures for renewable energy applications have significant volume of manufacturing and developing ...

Most of the world’s fastest population growth is occurring in cities of developing countries. With this growth comes higher demand for energy and modern energy services. However, the utility grids in many developing ...

Rapid media filtration is used to treat most surface water sources for municipal drinking water supply. This thesis presents results of an investigation into how media filters in Scottish Water, built decades ago to ...

A significant consideration in forward planning for water treatment works design and operation concerns the effectiveness of filtration plant in providing a barrier to particulates in the low micron size range, including ...
