The GRAND collaboration is committed to environmental awareness. GRAND members will endeavor to continually improve their environmental performance as an integral part of the development and operating procedures of the GRAND experiment.
Life Cycle Analysis
A study has also been undertaken to assess the environmental impact of the installation and use of the Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) prototype detection units, based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, and to propose recommendations that contribute to reduce the environmental impacts of the project at later stages. A publication in Astroparticle Physics will be released soon.
