Mo receives IAQM Ian McCrae Travel Award


One of our recently completed PhD students, Dr Mofoluso Fagbeja, has just been awarded the IAQM McCrae Travel Award.

The award is for a paper presentation at the 2013 American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland USA in March.

The paper is titled, "A subjective assessment of the suitability of SCIAMACHY total column CO measurements to interpolate reliable concentration estimates over a low-latitude region."

Congratualtions, Mo!
