Supporting the Eden Project's Invisible Worlds Expo

AQMRC are very excited to have had the opportunity to support the development of the Eden Project's Invisible World Exhibition. The permanent exhibition, which is due to open on 25th May 2018, aims to reveal a world beyond our senses: too big, too small, too fast, too slow, too far away in space and time. Enda Hayes @ AQMRC has been helping colleagues at Eden to ensure that narrative on the 'Pollution and Solutions' section of the exhibition is scientifically robust and relevant.

Tim presents new work on sustainability of new housing developments at AAG

On Tuesday 10th April, Tim gave a presentation at the 2018 meeting of the American Associati9n of Geographers looking at the energy performance of new housing developments in the UK.

The presentation clearly exposes the issue that whilst we are improving the electricity and gas consumption of new housing, the new developments appear to be significantly driving up car use.
