That the Parliament welcomes the news that three studies involving the University of Aberdeen have received funding from Scotland Beyond Net Zero to support Scotland’s drive to net zero; notes that the first project is Geo-ML, which seeks to develop an advanced machine learning approach for gathering data about seabeds for offshore wind installations; understands that the second project, Monitoring Peatland Restoration with Novel Geophysical Methods, will seek to develop new imaging methods for use in peat restoration; further understands that the third project, Unpacking the Tourism-Transport Nexus in Sustainability Transitions, will explore how tourism can reduce its reliance on unsustainable transport options; believes that these projects will play an important part in helping Scotland’s journey to net zero in energy, natural systems and transport; hopes that the research is fruitful, and wishes all those involved in the projects all the very best with their endeavours.
