Discover the Urban GHG Monitoring Network Dashboard, a platform providing near real-time (NRT) and historical observations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) across the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona.
We are looking for a doctoral candidate to join our team at the Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals (ICTA-UAB) to work on research related to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. The successful candidate will be enrolled in the Environmental Science and Technology doctoral programme at UAB and supervised by an interdisciplinary team including Vanessa Monteiro, Gara Villalba and Ariane Arias.
Leigh Fleming (Earth Sciences New Zealand) and Vanessa Monteiro (ICTA-UAB), are pleased to invite abstract submissions for our two sessions: 🌆 GI2.3 Urban greenhouse gases monitoring networks 🧩 EOS5.2 Visualizing atmospheric gases: bridging atmospheric science and school education
Title: Pathways to circular and regenerative urban agriculture through stakeholder-informed approaches. / Conventional agriculture typically relies on linear production systems that degrade soil and undermine sustainable resource management and climate change mitigation. Urban and peri-urban agriculture has the potential to shift from conventional approaches towards circular strategies that enhance soil health.
Throughout the URBAG project's journey, one of our proudest achievements has been the ability to reach audiences far beyond the scientific community. From in-depth newspaper interviews to lively radio discussions, the media interest in our work has been both humbling and encouraging.
Title: Leveraging circular nutrients to improve the sustainability of peri-urban agriculture / Agriculture in the urban periphery (peri-UA) can potentially reduce its environmental impact through nutrient recovery from municipal solid and water waste, promoting local crops and displacing some dependency on imports.
We are thrilled to announce that the European Commission’s CORDIS service has published a feature article on the results of the URBAG project. The piece, titled "Prioritising integrated, vulnerability-focused urban greening," highlights the successful completion of our ERC-funded research and underscores our key findings regarding the complexities of Green Infrastructure (GI).
