ProtectNFM

Four year @NERCscience funded project investigating how UK upland #PeatRestoration and #moorland management can be optimised for #NFM benefits downstream. One of thee projects funded through the NERC Understanding the effectiveness of Natural Flood Management programme @NERC_NFM

..at @bluedotfestival ? Come along and check out our communitymapping.org and @ProtectNFM stands!

Heard about Natural Flood Management (NFM) before? It was an honor to speak to the good people of Manchester today about NFM. The three channels shown here represent bare, revegetated and revegetated plus gully blocked channels @SocialResponUoM @GeographyUOM @Em_Shuttleworth

@Em_Shuttleworth and @reesj02 getting ready to demonstrate how our #peatland #restoration work with @moorsforfuture and @EnvAgencyNW helps reduce #flood risk at Manchester History Festival @mcrhistfest #PeatlandsMatter #SciComm

We'll be sharing our findings on the #NFM benefits of #PeatlandRestoration in this session at #EGU22. Why not join us?

Calling all #peatland hydrologists! Still time to submit an abstract to "#PeatlandHydrology: from tropical to subarctic latitudes" at #EGU22. Deadline tomorrow, 12 Jan @ 13:00 CET / midday UK. Full details here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/session/… #PeatlandsMatter #EGU2022

Day 9 of our #NFM #AdventCalendar🎄Today we revisit the @ProtectNFM webinar by @TimAllott and @Em_Shuttleworth (@OfficialUoM) "#Peatland Catchments and Natural Flood Management" Sip your pumpkin spice latte and listen here: bit.ly/3Ebdsco

It's Day 10 of our #NFM #AdventCalendar🎄Today we revisit the @ProtectNFM webinar presented by Dr Salim Goudarzi & Dr David Milledge (@UniofNewcastle) "Quantifying the impact of blanket #peat re-vegetation & gully blocking for #NFM" Listen here: bit.ly/3xIodQR

As tomorrow is #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's take a look back on how some of our @GeographyUOM Professors were involved in investigating how to manage floods that are caused by climate change🌍 @UNEP @EnvAgencyNW @ProtectNFM

ProtectNFM are recruiting...12 month postdoc position available from August jobs.manchester.ac.uk/displayjob.asp…

Our new @ProtectNFM paper interrogating interacting NFM #flood benefits from blanket peatland restoration is now out and freely available in Water Resources Research agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

@EnvAgencyNW @OfficialUoM @moorsforfuture Just to be clear, the installation of the measures is complete... the research project assessing their impact is ongoing 🙂

Some good news today as a project with @OfficialUoM @moorsforfuture @ProtectNFM to test natural flood risk management in #Stalybridge is complete! It aims to capture carbon, restore damaged peatland & slow the flow of #flood water Take a look 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=qK8f1T…

Good work @Em_Shuttleworth @ProtectNFM for setting up a novel #scicomm workshop today to showcase many different approaches to novel comms, co-production, games, drawing .... @ProfPHaygarth @JoClarkUoR @samillingworth @FloodSkinner

A model example of how to make #NFM modelling accessible to us non-modellers from Salim Goudarzi! Find the recording of the webinar below 🌊🌄🖥️ #peatlands @NERC_NFM youtu.be/rgYTvdiU_3g

Great to be back out doing social distanced #fieldwork again in the #PeakDistrict.. even if we did catch Martin playing Minesweeper @UoM_GeogLabs

@SimonMariusMudd @SenoraEco @MartinDHurst @EnvAgencyNW @WoodinRivers @GoWithTheF1ow @slowtheflow_UK Thanks for the heads up Simon. We're working with @moorsforfuture and @EnvAgencyNW on our #peatland #NFM projects. We also work/have worked with @ypp_peat @PAA_Ecology @IUCNpeat who may be able to help. DM us for more info

Gully blocking with peat dams on the moors above Stalybridge yesterday @moorsforfuture @EnvAgencyNW #nfm @UoM_GeogLabs @EPRGManchester

Nothing like marking catchment boundaries in a winter wonderland ☃️🌨️ #NFM #geomorphology #peakdistrict

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! Thanks to restoration work by @moorsforfuture Sphagnum can brighten up the grimmest of days on Kinder scout #peakdistrict #nfm

Deck the halls with Sphagnum subnitens? Even peatlands are showing their festive colours this time of year 🌲 @moorsforfuture
