What can the Oxford University Museum of Natural History’s ‘dirty birds’ tell us about our past?
Dr Shane DuBay is a researcher at the University of Michigan and he is using the Museum’s birds to understand Britain’s polluted past
He uses a photometric called reflectance to measure how dark or light a bird’s belly feathers are.
Dr DuBay’s research will help create a map of pollution through time and space across the British and Irish Isles. This will provide us with valuable information about the atmosphere in specific places at specific times.
