Description

Climate change and its associated effects provides one of the most daunting challenges that humanity has faced. In recognition of the effect of continued emissions of greenhouse gases on planet warming and extreme events, institutions, councils, and countries (including Plymouth, UoP, and the UK) have declared a climate emergency. Climate-related research thus has the potential for major economic, political, and societal impact. UoP boasts an impressive number of experts who can make a major contribution to both understanding, and mitigating climate change. We are internationally recognised for our ability to develop and apply robust analytical science to address key environmental questions.
We thus request state-of-the-art instrumentation to analyse gases and volatiles at trace levels. For this, we propose to purchase a gas chromatograph allowing, inter-alia, the analysis of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O), volatile amines, and isoprene.
