National Social Licence Forum Summary
Social licence means different things to different people in different sectors, and in this context, the benefits of a social licence are not clear. Consensus…
Technical Report
Measuring actual denitrification to understand nitrogen loads through aquifers
Ne is an inert, soluble, gas which is present in air and has been used in international studies to understand recharge conditions. The aim of…
