Project Description

This project aims to explore the feasibility of non-destructive inspection for peat using hyperspectral imagery and machine learning techniques. The primary objectives are to determine the quality of peat, measure the level of phenol released during processing, and identify the source of peat. By leveraging advanced spectral analysis methods, we seek to provide a rapid and automated approach for peat analysis, eliminating the need for manual quality control processes. By gaining insights into the quality and source of peat, whisky manufacturers can make informed decisions to select the most suitable peat for their production process, resulting in improved whisky quality.

MOSAiC: Floe-scale observation and quantification of Arctic sea ice breakup and floe size during the autumn-to-summer transition Jan 1, 2021 - Apr 30, 2022
The seasonal cycle of sea ice freeze-up, deformation, breakup and melt is an important feedback that affects the decline of Arctic sea ice. Thinner, smaller summer ice floes in the expanding marginal ice zone (MIZ) could lead to the formation of wint...
