This fact sheet describes a research project investigating the bidirectional relationships between climate, land use, and groundwater in the Pampas region, specifically focusing on the northwest portion of the Río Salado basin in Argentina.

This research paper details the use of an automated multiplexed soil-respiration (SR) system to partition soil CO2 fluxes into root, mycorrhizal hyphae, and heterotrophic components within a UK grassland over a three-month summer period.

The SAEMC (South American emissions, megacities and climate) project focuses on developing regional climate change scenarios and operational chemical weather forecasting tools to address deteriorating air quality in South American megacities.

The Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for eThekwini Municipality, produced in April 2007 by eThekwini Health and the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, establishes a scientific framework to address urban air pollution. The plan focuses on priority pollutants—including sulphur dioxide, particulate matter, benzene, and odours—particularly within the industrialised South Durban Basin. It integrates a monitoring network, emission inventories, and dispersion modelling via the AirQUIS software system to inform abatement strategies and ensure compliance with the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act of 2005.

This briefing sheet from the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) summarizes water quality and nutrient loading in the lower Winnipeg River basin (LWRB) based on data from 2018 and 2019. It details assessments of four monitoring sites, highlighting exceedances in total phosphorus and certain metals, and analyzes the river's role as a major nutrient contributor to Lake Winnipeg.

This report presents findings from the Schools’ Air quality Monitoring for Health and Education (SAMHE) initiative for the 2023/2024 academic year. Based on data from hundreds of UK schools, the report examines the relationship between outdoor temperatures and indoor air quality, specifically focusing on carbon dioxide (CO2), relative humidity, and particulate matter (PM2.5).
