Satellite data and algorithms reveal which ships are emitting too much nitrogen
Credit: Leiden University Ships still emit large amounts of nitrogen oxides. Until now it has been impossible to measure this at sea, but that is about to change. Solomia Kulchava has developed an algorithm that combines satellite data to identify which ships are emitting too much. Ms. Kulchava received her Ph.D. June 11th. While automobiles, power plants, and industry are…
