Abstract UEA has developed an analytical system based around Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry to measure individual isoprene derived nitrates (Bew et al, 2016; Mills et al, 2016). This was deployed in the field for the first time in Beijing as part of the AIRPRO project (An Integrated Study of AIR Pollution PROcesses in Beijing)...

Abstract A serendipitous discovery in science is often accidental, as its name implies. Most scientific experiments are initially conceived with the goal of testing a theory or verifying a hypothesis. Nonetheless, whilst performing experiments, along the way there are often unexpected discoveries that result from the application of instruments, techniques or methods adopted from other...
Abstract Across the global North, governments are engaged in restructuring around the increasingly linked agendas of carbon management and energy security. These agendas are characterised by complexity, uncertainty and all-pervasiveness. To meet these goals, governments necessarily implement programmes to enrol a range of institutions, institutional spaces and individuals to act on energy-carbon transitions. Enrolling territorial...
Abstract Forests store huge quantities of carbon, influence rainfall and alter the colour (and therefore reflectivity) of the land. But, in addition to taking carbon dioxide out of the air and producing oxygen, trees emit other gases into the air that can affect the climate in complex ways. This talk will explore the latest research...
