Characterising spatial freshwater soundscapes on an urban-rural gradient Apr 3, 2023 - Sep 29, 2023
The project aims to compare existing methods with a new methodology based on sensor arrays and utilising spatial audio algorithms, which can identify which direction a particular sound comes from and attenuate sounds from other directions. It will al... Read More about Characterising spatial freshwater soundscapes on an urban-rural gradient.

Methane-derived carbon in urban drainage ponds: characteristics and links to riparian ecosystems Jul 1, 2024 - Jun 30, 2025
Urban drainage ponds commonly have high methane production,
leading to local emissions. Dissolved methane may also act as a
carbon source for local food webs, through bacterial methane
oxidation, as has been found in other freshwaters, notably dee... Read More about Methane-derived carbon in urban drainage ponds: characteristics and links to riparian ecosystems.
