FTIR workshop hosted by KCL:- A great success!The FSF held a very successful and well attended workshop on the 6th & 7th of June at King's College London. The workshop brought together an international group of new and existing users of FTIR interferometers,to share their knowledge and experiences. Over 45 researchers and students attended from the UK, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden, Brazil,the West Indies, Canada and the USA. Presentations were given, by experts in each field, on the theory of FTIR, the practicalities of field measurements and data processing and analytical techniques. Practical demonstrations were also given using the FSF's field portable FTIR. A summary of the presentations can be viewed here
In early 2008 the Field Spectroscopy Facility supported the NERC ARSF field campaign in the Afar region of Ethiopia..... Read more
The FSF has recently conducted an online survey of users and other interested researchers. We wish to enhance the Facility's ability to support research into the future and are therefore considering a bid to NERC for the purchase of new instruments to complement and expand the provision we are able to offer. Possible future purchases include a thermal imaging camera or a near-ground hyperspectral imaging system but we were also very interested in all your other suggestions. The responses to the survey will be very useful in guiding our future purchases. Many thanks to all those who took part!
