New laboratory to study the oceans and air
Almost two-thirds of the planet is ocean and this has a major impact on our lives. Now the University of East Anglia (UEA) will be home to the world's first facility dedicated to the study of chemical ocean-air interactions which are important in regulating Earth's climate. Examples include ocean uptake of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide... view more... (2003-11-21)

Shaping CCLRC's future - start of consultation phase
Everyone interested in the future of science and engineering research in the UK is being invited to input their ideas ahead of the production of the first strategic plan of the CCLRC (the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils). The CCLRC is publishing a consultation paper next week and is announcing the start of a month-long... view more... (2003-05-16)
Mobile laboratory "sniffs" traffic pollutants
A new mobile laboratory makes it possible to study traffic pollutants in actual traffic conditions. The mobile laboratory, which can be used to measure exhaust gases both on roads and in tunnels as well as in underground sites, can shed new light on the amount and size distribution of exhaust gases. Fine particles in exhaust gasses are being... view more... (2003-06-02)
Sunscreens from the sea
