The technological advancements on laser and detector technologies paved way to the observation of ultrafast phenomena. These are in the pico- to femto-second timescales by which many chemical and physical processes take place. The technology has applications in imaging, spectroscopy and observation of ultrafast dynamics in life and environmental sciences.

The Project B team went to three different sites for the assessment of water quality in streams, rivers and springs. Team 1 (Angelo, Mark and Jayson) went to the usual sampling sites at the Bued River for water and sediment samples to be collected and tested for heavy metals, nitrates and phosphates.
