Transkript

1 MCN - Northern Sweden Soil Remediation Center Motto: Leaders in science and partnering for sustainable recovery of contaminated sites - i.e. develop and apply science in soil remediation Research collaboration in northern sweden. Active since Financed by EU, DG regional. Objective 1 and 2 Mission for Creating growth by internationalising competenses developed within the innovative environment MCN.

2 History: MCN Two common meetings per year

3 MCN in Brief 15 new PhD 68 scientific articles Commericialised technologies, knowledge Analysis of Oxy-PAH in Soil and water. Analycen /Eurofins Understanding transformation and mobility of PAH (S-EPA Gudiance doc) Analysis of Me-Hg in soil. Analytica/ALS New Bioavalablity and toxixcity method Daphnia-metod. Pelagia Risk assessment of HG methylation in sediments GeoEnvix, Envipro mfl How to use Fe additives for stabilising CCA soil. (Fedec, Deme) Mobility of POPs, development of leachingmethods (SGI)

4 Learnings in collaboration Navigating the Pros and Cons for collaboration and learning Creating Benefits for every one - Win-Win situations Sharing Information, collaboration and development Researchers Higher relevance in research Increased motivation by known delivery adress More new research ideas Research grants Stolen research ideas More sources of informations Authorities Stake holders Securer decisions Environmental efficiency Unrewarded risktaking Unclean Public tenedering Companies Ahead of competition by using new technology Informed about demands and competitors positions Loss of business secrecies

5 Consider the roles in the knowledge transfer chain 1. Researchers- Increase and document knowledge 2. Consultants - Gather, evaluate and transfer knowledge 3. Decision makers and stakeholders - Use knowledge in decision making Researchers should make active use of consultancies to transfer knowledge to stakeholders

6 How to convince stake holders of applying new science Selling Science Involving service companies in active roles research and local demonstration projects to enable bridging of technologies. Building trust and relations by involving stakeholders in observing roles in reoccurring meetings.

11 Significant newly awarded International Research projects GREENLAND EU FP7, Jurate Kumpiene at department of Waste Science and Technology will take a role as a leader of a Work Package on "Harmonisation of methods to assess the bioavailability of trace elements and development of tool set to monitor the sustainability of gentle remediation options. GLOCOM EU FP7 Marie Curie IRSES, 2010 Partners. University Ca Foscari of Venice, Umeå University (MCN), Bejing Normal University and CRAES (China Research Academy of Environmental Science). GLOCOM is plannned as a 4- year program for exchange of 36 researchers for a total of 188 months -> MCN a new Centre at UmU and LTU

13 Snowman MCA Syfte: Att utveckla en praktiskt användbar procedur för Multi-kriterieanalys (MKA) för utvärdering av åtgärders hållbarhet (sustainability), med hjälp av s.k. soil function (SF), exempelvis uttryckt i termer av markens förmåga att erbjuda ekosystemtjänster. Specifika mål är att: Infoga bedömningar av SF i utvärdering av ekologisk hållbarhet Utveckla en prototyp för MKA för identifiering av hållbara åtgärdsalternativ. (UmU, Chalmers) Innovativa åtgärdslösningar? Markens förmåga till funktion Hållbara lösningar Effekten av förändring på markens funktion Economic aspects Ecological impacts Soil quality Soil threat Social cultural dimensions Sustainable solutions Markfunktionens egenskaper Projekt: , Umu / Chalmers / UBA-A

14 Landområdens reglering av föroreningars mobilitet (Landscape regulation of contaminant mobility) Syfte: Att undersöka mängden av miljögift i mark som tillförs ett vattendrag och hur detta varierar mellan olika landområden och marktyper. (UmU, WSP) Resultat: Stor skillnad i deposition över året, ca 60 % med snö Betydande skillnad i vertikal transport mellan olika marklager, snabbare transport i djupare lager. Export: ca % under vårflod, resten med höstregn. Olika export för olika landområden (skogsmark vs. våtmark), kopplat till biogeokemiska processer. Atmosfärisk deposition kan vara en betydande källa, jfm med punktkällor. Export till ytvatten: Atm. Deposition vs. punktkälla Forested catchment Discharge (mm day -1 ) TOC (mg L -1 ) Wetland dominated catchment Apr 01-May 15-May Apr 01-May 15-May 0

17 Domsjö projektet Anpassade åtgärdsmetoder för behandling av industriområden i drift. ( ) Fokuserar på lösningar för Domsjö Industriområde, Örnsköldsvik Partners. UmU (koordinator), Sweco, Tyréns. Beställare: Holmen.

18 Hur kan MCN bäst fungera som forskande part i stöd till era uppdrag? - Bygga projekt med stöd av existerande forskningspartners i världen? - Stöd till utveckling av manualer och modeller för andra länder? - På annat sätt?
