- Additional information
- Has been very influential in the management and quality control of volunteered environmental data. Meetings with The Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KNMI) in 2016 to present this approach assisted them in making a case for the continuation of their citizen weather system https://wow.knmi.nl/. The lead author subsequently developed the Wintersense road temperature sensor https://wintersense.com/) which was licensed for commercial sale by Campbell Scientific in summer 2019. The work also fed directly into the Birmingham Urban Observatory project (https://birminghamurbanobservatory.com/) - a UKCRIC funded project in collaboration with 5 other Universities to demonstrate the value of such observatories and documenting best practice.
