1- Academy for Health and Fitness
Academy for Health and Fitness is a UK-based e-learning platform offering accredited online courses in environmental science, biology, renewable energy, and many other subjects. Courses are accredited by CPDQS and QLS, recognised UK continuing professional development bodies, and are delivered entirely online at your own pace with a certificate awarded on completion.
I recommend Academy for Health and Fitness to readers of this site who want to formalise their knowledge of environmental science, soil biology, forestry, or renewable energy through structured learning. The course catalogue covers topics that connect directly to the research content published here, from ecology and microbiology through to environmental management and renewable energy systems.
Courses are affordable, flexible, and accessible from any device. Whether you are a student building foundational knowledge, a researcher wanting formal credentials alongside your field experience, or someone curious about the science behind forests, soils, and energy systems, their catalogue has something relevant.

2- ANSI Webstore
The ANSI Webstore is the official online platform for purchasing and accessing American and international standards documents from over 150 standards publishers. Its catalogue includes standards from ISO, IEC, and hundreds of other standards development organisations covering environmental management, soil analysis, biomass sampling, air quality, and many other fields directly relevant to environmental science and research.
For researchers and environmental professionals who need access to official standards referenced in field research and regulatory compliance work, the ANSI Webstore is the authoritative source. Standards like ISO 14001 for environmental management systems, ISO 18135 for solid biofuels sampling, and a wide range of measurement and analytical standards are all available here as immediate PDF downloads.
If your work involves following documented protocols, meeting regulatory requirements, or simply wanting to read the primary standard behind a measurement method you use, this is where to find it.

3- Jackery
Jackery designs and manufactures portable solar generators, power stations, and solar panels for off-grid, outdoor, and emergency use. Founded in California in 2012, the company has grown into one of the most recognised names in portable renewable energy, with over six million units sold globally and multiple international design and sustainability awards including the Red Dot Design Award and the SEAL Sustainable Product Award.
For environmental field researchers, the practical value of a portable solar power source is easy to underestimate until you have spent a full day in a remote experimental site with a data logger running low on battery and no mains power within reach. In my field research I ran continuous environmental monitoring across multiple plots throughout a full growing season. Power reliability for sensors, data loggers, and handheld instruments in a remote field cabin was not a minor concern. It was central to keeping the experiment running.
Jackery’s solar generator range addresses exactly this kind of need. Their portable power stations combine lithium battery storage with compatible solar panels to create a self-contained renewable power source that can be set up anywhere, operates quietly enough not to disturb field measurements, and recharges from sunlight during the day to keep equipment running overnight or through cloudy periods.
The product range covers a wide spectrum of power needs. Smaller units like the Explorer 300 are light enough to carry to a field site and sufficient for charging handheld instruments, GPS units, and small data loggers. Larger units in the Explorer 1000 and above range can power laptops, larger sensor arrays, and multiple devices simultaneously, making them suitable for more complex field setups or base camp power management.
Beyond field research, Jackery systems are used for home backup power during outages, off-grid cabin power, camping, and emergency preparedness. The sustainability credentials of solar-powered portable energy align naturally with the environmental values that underpin the research covered on this site. Powering field equipment from sunlight rather than fossil fuel generators reduces both noise and carbon footprint in sensitive ecological research environments.
Jackery products are available internationally and ship to most countries including where much of the research behind this site was conducted.
