The Maldives National University (MNU) is a non-profit public higher-education institution located in the small city of Malé. Officially recognized by the Ministry of Education of the Maldives, The Maldives National University (MNU) is a coeducational Maldivian higher education institution.
MNU is a member of the following work packages:
- 1.2
Investigating the consequences of reducing nitrogen pollution and how this will impact society, human well-being and the economy in the future. How choices made in other parts of the world affect South Asian decisions on nitrogen and vice versa is also explored
- 1.3
Surveys will investigate how farmers use nitrogen to better understand how they make decisions on nitrogen use with both crops and livestock. This will help make sure solutions to reduce pollution are socially and culturally acceptable
- 2.2
Working closely with villages across South Asia, surveys will help determine the main cause of nitrogen waste as well as possible challenges in adopting different practices
- 3.2
Investigate how nitrogen pollution can intensify coral bleaching and stop reefs from recovering by comparing reefs at different distances from pollution sources
- 3.3
Focus on creating a Massive Open Online Course in the 8 national languages of the South Asian countries
- 4.1
Collating data and identifying gaps, bringing together many data sets in one place, to create detailed maps on nitrogen pollution in the atmosphere around South Asia. From this nitrogen budgets can be developed to help direct policy making
- 4.3
This research focuses on understanding how nitrogen impacts as it flows through water ways from rivers to the ocean and model how this may change in the future. It also looks at how better waste water management could reduce pollution and ways we can increase water quality
- 4.4
Through modelling and mapping this work package explores how nitrogen pollution contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and how managing nitrogen can reduce climate change
