Megan Whitty is a Research Scientist for the Acclimatize Project, based in University College Dublin, Ireland.
Acclimatize is a project being carried out by researchers in Ireland (University College Dublin) and Wales (Aberystwyth University). The aim of Acclimatize is to identify pollution streams in both urban and rural bathing waters, as well as quantifying their impact on the environment and public health. The project is also investigating the impact climate change might have on bathing waters in the future.
As part of Acclimatize, Megan also works as part of the SARS-CoV- 2 Irish National Wastewater Surveillance Project (NWSP). The NWSP is a country wide sewage surveillance project which provides information to the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) on SARS-CoV-2 in the community, as well as acting as an early warning system for subsequent waves of infection.
Megan obtained her BSc in Environmental Biology and MSc in Environmental Technology from UCD in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
