Odour pollution is the second reason for citizens’ complaints after noise, across Europe. Frequent exposure to odour is associated with headache, stress and respiratory problems. Odour nuisance is an indicator of larger environmental issues, such as poor waste management or polluted water. OdourCollect app is a citizen science observatory for the citizens to monitor odour pollution. Being aware of this pollution empowers us to press the goverments to design odour pollution control measures at local, national and global levels. During the webinar, the participants will [...] |

The sensitivity of Gravitational Waves detectors is limited by several types of noise, called glitches, whose presence affects the quality of the data. The glitches can have various origins, having a stationary nature (e.g. a noise signal with a stable frequency) or being transient on various timescales. In order to optimize and run the interferometers it is fundamental to identify the sources of noise and reduce or eliminate its origin. In this framework, citizen scientists can play a fundamental role by [...] |
