A comparison of OEM CO retrievals from the IASI and MOPITT instruments (2011)
Journal Article
Illingworth, S. M., Remedios, J. J., Boesch, H., Ho, S.-P., Edwards, D., Palmer, P., & Gonzi, S. (2011). A comparison of OEM CO retrievals from the IASI and MOPITT instruments. Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 4, 775-793. https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-4-775-2011

Observations of atmospheric carbon monoxide (CO) can only be made on continental and global scales by remote sensing instruments situated in space. One such instrument is the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), producing spectrally r... Read More about A comparison of OEM CO retrievals from the IASI and MOPITT instruments.

Rethinking graduate attributes: understanding the learning journeys of part-time students in the Open University in Scotland. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Caddell, M., & Cannell, P. (2011, March). Rethinking graduate attributes: understanding the learning journeys of part-time students in the Open University in Scotland. Presented at Conference of the Universities Association for Lifelong Learning (UALL) 2011

Four in ten of Scotland’s university students study part time. But their voices and experience are often sidelined in debates about employability and graduate attributes. What do part-time students value in their course of study, and how does this di...
