Measuring Sea Water pH

M. Filomena Cam�es* (CQE@FCUL) and Andrew G. Dickson (SCRIPPS IO) lead a mixed group of specialists in marine sciences, pH measurement and modeling of electrolytic solutions, whose mission is to produce, by 2021, a Best Practices Guide for measuring the pH of seawater, according to the winning financing proposal submitted to International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO).

The working group met at the University of California, San Diego, in a first session on February 21, 2020.

EVENTS

Workshop Moinhos de Bolas��Um Novo Mundo de Aplica��es�

Last March 9th, 2020, the 1st Workshop Moinho de Bolas��Um Novo Mundo de Aplica��es� took place at Alameda campus. Different areas of application were presented, spanning from Mechanical Engineering to Pharmaceutical Chemistry. The attendance exceeded all expectations and, since the feedback was so positive, a second edition is already being prepared.

The Workshop was organized by Lu�sa M.D.R.S. Martins (CQE-DEQ-IST), Ana P.C. Ribeiro (CQE-IST) and Scansci, Equipamentos de Laborat�rio.
