Our new paper published in Science highlights the growing environmental risks posed by legacy landfill sites as climate change intensifies extreme weather, rising temperatures and coastal erosion. The publication, “Climate policies neglect risks posed by legacy landfills”, was co-authored by Prof William T. Sloan, Zhiping Zhang and Siming You. The paper reflects on recent landfill …
Our research was featured on the international stage at the 19th IWA World Conference on Anaerobic Digestion (AD19), held in València, Spain, from June 9 to 13, 2026. Tymon Herzyk delivered an oral presentation to a global audience of researchers and industry leaders. Tymon’s talk, titled “Biological Methane Oxidation: Quantifying the Metabolic Heat from Aerobic …
The WARM demonstrator (Waste to Advanced Renewable-energy Microgrid) represents the latest stage of innovation emerging from the Decentralised Water Technologies (DWT) programme at the University of Glasgow, in collaboration with Scottish Water. Led by Professor Bill Sloan and Dr Tania Gomez, the project focuses on developing a mobile demonstrator capable of recovering energy from domestic …
We are pleased to share with you a Comparative Analysis of On‑site Sanitation Governance that examines how decentralised wastewater systems are governed in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Scotland, with a focus on the regulatory, institutional and practical arrangements that shape environmental outcomes. This report identifies policy and regulatory lessons to improve oversight, compliance and environmental protection for …
This free-to-attend symposium, hosted in collaboration with Dr Baptiste Poursat from the University of Glasgow, is tailored for analytical scientists aiming to extract maximum information from their most complex samples. Join us to explore comprehensive workflows – from thermal desorption (TD) and advanced sample enrichment techniques through to GC–MS separation and confident characterisation. Discover how …
Our latest SISC blog explores why fairness—not just abundance—matters when shaping Scotland’s future water systems. Although Scotland is often described as a “hydro nation,” communities across rural and island areas experience water access very differently, with growing pressures from climate change, land use, and ageing infrastructure. The post uses the well‑known equality–equity illustration to explain …
