Mike Bowes highlights the importance of water quality, particularly in the River Thames. He looks at why we measure nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus and why Understanding nutrient levels helps in managing and mitigating negative impacts, ensuring the river remains a healthy and sustainable resource.
Steve Turner takes us on a virtual tour of the Wallingford Met Station, which is part of the Met Office’s Climate Network. By measuring many meteorological variables consistently over time, it provides data that show how today's weather differs from long-term averages. This data serves as the foundation for studying how our climate has changed over the decades.
