#ForthERA is now officially underway with the launch of Scotland’s International Environment Centre (#SIEC). Find out more about this ground-breaking programme by following the links below.

Our PhD student Edward Salakpi graduated y'day from @SussexUni 🎓 His research used SEO data to analyse vegetation/drought in African pastoral communities. He is now a #RemoteSensing scientist on the @forth_era programme at @StirUni. Well done Dr Salakpi, you've worked so hard!

We saw this graphic at a meeting hosted by @forth_era in Stirling yesterday and thought it was quite powerful - even rainy Scotland is predicted to have medium/high water stress in the coming years. Monitoring the water quality will be crucial.

Equip yourself with the core skills that are in demand for the economy of tomorrow in #AI, #DataAnalytics, #DataScience and #FinTech. Check out our wide range of courses at #UofStirling. 👇 https://t.co/l1j8PjS0x2… Think Scotland #ScotlandIsNow

We were delighted to join @UKGovScotland @scotgov @ClacksCouncil @StirlingCouncil & @FVCollege yesterday to mark the launch of Scotland’s International Environment Centre. This exciting new project will drive jobs, growth and investment across the Forth Valley.

A pioneering project turning the Forth Valley into a living laboratory is being launched at #COP26. State-of-the-art technology will monitor the Firth of Forth catchment in real time supporting the region in its transition to net zero. Find out more 👉 https://t.co/ZLzIW4j4Cu

#ForthERA is helping tackle challenges such as #climate #biodiversity and #water by providing access to real-time data and intelligence on the environment around us to improve decision-making by regulators, industry and the public. #TogetherForOurPlanet

Climate Change will induce more extreme weather events, threatening our economy and way of life. @a_n_tyler explains how Forth-ERA will help communities and businesses adapt to climate extremes and build resilience. #COP26

Forth-ERA uses satellite & in-situ sensors to present real-time environmental data & analytics. @AdamVarley12 explains how the data at the heart of this new project can enable a shift to #NetZero. #COP26

Sustainable #energy is critical to the green economy. What opportunities does the Forth Valley present for energy recovery? @JenDickie explains how Forth-ERA will present evidence for investment in future technologies, supporting local communities. #COP26

Check out our behind the scenes look at #COP26 today, showcasing #UofStirling's #ForthERA project. Find our more 👇 https://t.co/b51CW9EB4x

Peatlands are essential for #carbon storage, but are under threat. Restored peatlands retain water and trap carbon. @JASubke explains how #ForthERA will support enhanced carbon management in peatland environments. #COP26

Forth-ERA can help the Forth catchment’s communities & industry make a #JustTransition to #NetZero. Learn more by watching our new #ForthERA simulation. #COP26

Forth-ERA will create a world-first regional environmental recovery platform. Find out more about why #water is central to how we will experience #ClimateChange, & why we’re launching this pioneering new project at #COP26 https://t.co/n95ZoGCdPy @UNEP @UN_WWQA @geoaquawatch

Digital twins such as Forth-ERA to measure the benefits of nature-based solutions to the #climate and #biodiversity crises – Dr Peter Hunter of @stirscience is our lead for a new partnership project.

Some good news ahead of #COP26 - £1 million has been announced for habitat restoration in the River Forth catchment as part of the £18m @euMERLINproject. The partnership project includes restoration of several peat bogs & their vital carbon stores: https://t.co/O18an3ASeA

Forth-ERA is the first flagship multi million-pound investment programme through Scotland’s International Environment Centre. Launching in autumn 2021, it will create a catchment-scale digital observatory of the Firth of Forth landscape. Watch this space!
