In remembrance of Chris Buckley, a dear colleague and friend

Chris Buckley was a dear colleague, mentor and friend. He passed away peacefully on the 27th May 2021 after a hard and brave fight against cancer. He is sorely missed. I remember the first day I met Chris very well – it was at World Water Week in Stockholm 2013. He’d never heard of me when I introduced myself as a young researcher from the Björn VinnerĂ„s Lab at SLU, but that didn’t matter. Chris directly brought me into his professional social network and started connecting me with all who he thought I needed to meet. Over the years Chris continued to act as a catalyst in creating connections and opportunities for me. While at the same time influencing my work on urine-drying. I am so thankful for having him in my life and for all the wisdom he so graciously shared. Chris was a wonderful role model of how to be welcoming and hardworking while also knowing when to take break. For me, his legacy will live on through the projects that I am participating in thanks to him. Cheers Chris – missing you.

Day 49 in our Barley Field Trials – No visible difference between the urine fertilizer (right) and the mineral fertilizer (+control; left). While the barley that did not receive fertilizer (-control, middle) is shorter and a paler green.

SÀdeslaget korn har blivit gödslat med vÄr torkade urin och den vÀxer bra.

Bilden som Àr avsedd att lÀggas upp hÀr (men som inte kan laddas upp) togs 27 dagar efter plantering och det ser riktigt bra ut!

The barley fertilized with our dried urine is growing well.

The picture meant to be posted here as well (but can’t) is taken 27 days after planting and it looks really good!

Återvinning och Ă„teranvĂ€ndning av nĂ€ringsĂ€mnen – HjĂ€lp oss att utforma en systematisk karta och bevisplattform

Published

Forskningen och utvecklingen av cirkulÀra nÀringsteknologier har under de senaste Ären fÄtt mer fokus och publiceraringar blivit mer frekventa. Detta har lett till att det blivit svÄrare att navigera och hÄlla reda pÄ forskningsresultat inom detta omrÄde. Det finns ett behov av en robust och omfattande kartlÀggning samt hur befintlig relevant forskning och bÀttre kunskapsförmedling till policy och praktik ska kunna kombineras.

Forskare i vÄr grupp Àr involverade i samarbetsprojektet End-of-wastewater som syftar till att:

  • Samla tillgĂ€nglig granskad forskning pĂ„ engelska om nĂ€ringsĂ„tervinning och Ă„teranvĂ€ndning till en omfattande bevisplattform med systematisk kartlĂ€ggningsmetodik.
  • Utveckla en onlineplattform för att enkelt navigera i relevanta vetenskapliga artiklar.

Nutrient Recovery and Reuse – Help Us Design a Systematic Map and Evidence Platform

Published
By

Research and development of circular nutrient technologies has intensified over the past years, making research output in this field increasingly hard to navigate and keep track of. There is a need for a robust and comprehensive mapping and synthesis of existing relevant research and better brokering of knowledge to policy and practice.

Researchers at our group are involved in the collaborative project End-of-wastewater that aims to:

  • Collate available peer-reviewed English language research on nutrient recovery and reuse into a comprehensive evidence base using systematic mapping methodology.
  • Develop an online evidence platform to navigate relevant scientific papers with ease.
