Embracing uncertainty in time: A Bayesian dynamic mixing model for isotopic diet estimation

Isotopic mixing models are powerful tools in ecology for estimating diets. Since their initial formulation, these models have evolved into two distinct branches: Bayesian mixing models and dynamic...

Great to see team Quantum hosting a successful event to get input from their stakeholders. The project examines the impact of livestock farming on the quality of water in our rivers.
Penny Johnes@pj13302Jan 17
The @QuantumFreshWtr team welcomed a diverse range of Government, industry, farming and freshwater organisations to our Stakeholder event. Great discussions and exchange of ideas on livestock farming as a driver of changing quality in UK rivers and how to mitigate its impacts!
