Applied technology for the environment and sustainable development
Quantification of carbon sequestration and its conversion into carbon credits, through the application of nature-based management practices (Nature Based Solutions).
Rapid, in-situ prediction of critical soil indicators such as soil organic carbon (SOC), clay content, pH and total nitrogen (TN), using portable MEMS-NIR sensors and ML algorithms.
Accredited laboratory analyses of physicochemical, chemical and biological parameters in water and soil samples, in accordance with the ISO 17025 standard.
Rapid, non-destructive detection of adulteration in foods (e.g. flours, juices, spices) using portable, low-cost NIR sensors and ML.
Mapping, analysis and visualisation of water and soil quality data using Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
