In May / June 2015 the University of Stirling & Durham University hosted international visitors from US and New Zealand. Dr Yakov Pachepsky (US Dept for Agriculture) & Dr Richard Muirhead (AgResearch) have been working with Dr David Oliver, Dr Richard Quilliam, Dr Sim Reaney & Kenneth Porter on a NERC funded International Opportunity Fund that has enabled the sharing of international data-sets and modelling platforms to add value to existing NERC-funded science.
The aim of the visit was to explore international transferability of models for predicting microbial water quality in catchment systems through a series of workshops and data clinics - http://www.deliveringhealthywater.net/?p=783
