Santa Cruz and Climate
Just arrived in sunny Santa Cruz for the workshop in terrestrial and coastal climates and the Palaeocene Eocene Thermal Maximum. We're looking forward to learning about the latest in climate behaviour during this period that is used as an analogy of current climate...
HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters
Blog0 Comments HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are used to filter the air going into clean labs and their laminar flow hoods. They are generally protected by pre-filters, which remove the worst of the airbourne particles, so that they don’t clog the...
