Improving the monitoring of ship emissions

(University of Oldenburg) A new EU-project aims at developing a sensor network to monitor ship emissions. A German-French team led by marine scientist Oliver Wurl of the University of Oldenburg, Germany, will develop a network of data bouys for autonomously measuring soot, oil, sulphur dioxide or plastic debris at the sea surface and in the air. Drones and devices deployed from aboard research vessels will supplement the system.
