Next week NanoFASE partners from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) and the University of Vienna will be presenting a modelling framework for the transport, transformation and bio-uptake of manufactured nanoparticles in the aquatic environment at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2016 (http://www.egu2016.eu/).

Steve Lofts (CEH), the lead author, commented "Nanoparticles have distinctive and type-specific behaviours in the environment and so it is important to develop a new modelling approach for their fate in surface water and other environmental compartments. We will be presenting an outline of the spatially explicit NanoFASE model and illustrating our approach with a case study on nano-enabled antifouling ship paints."

If attending the conference you can find this work being presented in poster session HS5.10, Assessment and interpretation of state and trends in water quality, 08:00–19:30, Hall A, on Tuesday 19th April.
