Project Abstract

SAPHIRE is a tripartite research and development partnership aiming to employ commercially available sensors and telecommunications technologies, to better characterise hydrologic and biochemical processes operating in peatlands in remote environments. Understanding these mechanisms and continuous monitoring are critical for better quantifying the risk of economic and environmental impacts on water quality, aquatic communities, stream flow/flood risk, and the loss of nutrient sink functions.
