Webinar: QUANTUM project update, 15 May 2024
Join us on 15 May, 11.00am for a project update from Professor Penny Johnes, University of Bristol who leads the QUANTUM project. This is is one of the five UK wide projects funded by NERC and DEFRA which make up the UK Freshwater Quality Programme.
QUANTUM (Quantifying the combined nutrient enrichment, pathogenic, and ecotoxicological impacts of livestock farming on UK rivers) is working with scientists, farmers, industry and regulators to quantify the nutrient enrichment, pathogenic and ecotoxicological impacts of livestock farming on UK rivers.
Project field sites are the Conwy, Bristol Avon and 50 further catchments across livestock farming regions in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the north and west of England.
To receive an invitation to this and future webinars, join our mailing list, and we will send a link to register for the event.
