Here's a sneak peak of our case study, in collaboration with microplastics researchers at the University of Birmingham. This team of experts are making strides in characterizing and understanding microplastics in aquatic environments, but often face analysis challenges such as inconclusive results and false identifications. Read on to hear more about the team's research and how they overcome sensitivity and accuracy challenges with the versatile TGA-FTIR-GC/MS hyphenated workflow.

Within the #AI4SoilHealth project we are building #opendata to help monitor soil health across pan-EU. The Landsat-based biophysical indices (bimonthly, annual, 17TB of data) covering 2000-2022 are now ready for use as COGs; systematically listed at: https://lnkd.in/e_uK7Dng. The technical documentation is at: https://lnkd.in/eCQPSJpb. The trends maps for NDVI, NDWI, minNDVI and BSF reveal where EU soils are changing i.e. are potentially degraded. If you discover an issue or bug please report it. Great output by Xuemeng Tian and colleagues from the AI4SoilHealth! Our 7-step framework for assessing soil health is also explained in: https://lnkd.in/e_jwBvh8 Stay tuned as even more open data is coming in the next 3-4 months!

🌊 Decades of Data: Insights from the Dutch Coastline 🌊 Join us as we chat with Nina Leestemaker, a representative of the Strandaanspoelsel (Beach Washup) Monitoring Project (SMP), one of the winning projects of the #DTOBioFlow open call! Stichting Anemoon Since 1997, SMP has been utilizing citizen science to monitor changes in coastal marine ecosystems along the Dutch coastline. This long-term data, collected by dedicated volunteers, offers critical insights into the health of our nearshore environments. 🦀🐚 “Our data is very valuable because it’s long-term data. You can really use it to calculate trends: coastal ecosystems are the first to react if something is changing in the sea.” 🔗 Watch the full interview to discover more about this impactful project! https://lnkd.in/dXPGc8xM

👉🏻 Don't miss Part 2 of our #EnvironmentalMonitoring White Paper series written by Thierry Bonnevay (Sanofi) and Laurent Leblanc (bioMérieux)! You'll learn about a recent study that advocates for a shift from dual to single temperature incubation. The choice of methodology for recovering environmental microorganisms, including culture media, incubation time, and temperature, can significantly influence trend analysis. 📊 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ejAYqMgf

With the Our Ocean Greece Conference beginning in Athens today, POGO recognises the importance of the many commitments made to establish Marine Protected Areas, and we further call upon the countries who have made such commitments, to extend their commitment to the continuous monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem recovery in those MPAs, to fully understand the impacts of the bold measures they have taken. In this regard, we highlight the Barcelona Biomolecular Ocean Observation Declaration (https://bit.ly/3UbfL9F) and the opportunity offered by biomolecular observations (the analysis of DNA, RNA, proteins, and small molecules). Applying autonomous biomolecular technologies to monitor aquatic life promises a solution for monitoring MPAs and their effectiveness, as well as to support decisions on where to establish new MPAs. In particular, the analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) - a forensics-style approach that detects organisms by sampling the water they reside in or have recently passed through, has already been proven as a useful tool for such applications. Biomolecular approaches can also provide complementary information to combine with remote sensing, in situ imaging, and passive acoustic monitoring.
