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!

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: ow.ly/pW5j50GzZgW

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

Forth-ERA will create a world-first regional environmental recovery platform.

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

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. Adam Varley 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? Dr Jen Dickie explains how Forth-ERA will present evidence for investment in future technologies, supporting local communities. #COP26

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

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 👉 media.sepa.org.uk/media-releases…

#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

We were delighted to join UK Government Scotland Scottish Government Clackmannanshire Council Stirling Council & Forth Valley College 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.

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. 👇ow.ly/NZZg50GNvJP… Think Scotland #ScotlandIsNow

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.

Our PhD student Edward Salakpi graduated y'day from University of Sussex 🎓 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 University of Stirling. Well done Dr Salakpi, you've worked so hard!
