Life Cycle Assessment of Closed‐Loop Opaque Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (rPET) Bottles for UHT Milk

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
The study quantifies environmental impacts of 1 L of ultra‐high‐temperature milk bottles, comparing a 50% recycled opaque PET (rPET) bottle with 100% virgin PET bottles under closed‐loop and non‐closed‐loop recycling scenarios. Results show that 50% opaque rPET bottles outperform 100% virgin PET bottles across all impact categories, enabled by an ...

Assimilation of machine‐learning‐predicted nitrate to improve the quality of phytoplankton forecasting in the shelf‐sea environment

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates that assimilating machine‐learning‐derived surface nitrate can improve five‐day phytoplankton forecast substantially within the Met Office operational system for the Northwest European Shelf. We explain the reasons behind this improvement and propose that an online system where machine learning and data assimilation are cycled

Identification of initial vegetation and habitat changes in small temperate fens using remote sensing

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.
