Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) in the city of Plymouth, England, is a marine research organization and registered charity. It is a partner of the UK Research & Innovation's Natural Environment Research Council. Research activity at PML broadly investigates global-scale issues of climate change and sustainability.
PML is a member of the following work packages:
- 1.1
Mapping existing policies and government programmes in each country that relate to nitrogen and its impacts. Identifying key individuals and discovering more about the policy process
- 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
- 3.2
Investigate how nitrogen pollution can intensify coral bleaching and stop reefs from recovering by comparing reefs at different distances from pollution sources
- 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
