AQMRC’s Jo Barnes, Enda Hayes and Jim Longhurst have collaborated with lawyers Tom Appleby and Ben Pontin and ecosystem services expert Mark Everard to explore the question of air as a common good. In the paper, to be published later this year in Environmental Science & Policy,  legal, technical, social and systems approaches are used to explorer  how the ecosystem services framework might inform management of the air.

Farewell, Mo!

Following his  successful PhD viva  Mofoluso is returning to Nigeria after 4 years in AQMRC, UWE  researching  for his PhD. Mo rejoins the Nigerian National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) in Abuja and will continue to collaborate with AQMRC on a range of air quality and carbon management issues. Mo will return to the UK in July 2012 to attend his graduation ceremony and in the meantime will continue to publish the findings of his PhD in the peer review literature.

All colleagues in AQMRC wish Mo a safe journey home and send best wishes for the resumption of his career in NASRDA.
