In 2020 @UKRI_News financed a 7-year Future Leaders Fellowship led by WRI board member Dr Adrian Healy (based at @CUGeogPlan) to look at access to water and pathways to resilience in sub-Saharan Africa. Find out more about the project below youtu.be/iGHmQztZJF0?si…

Yn 2020 fe wnaeth @UKRI_News ariannu Cymrodoriaeth Arweinwyr y Dyfodol dan arweiniad Dr Adrian Healy, aelod o fwrdd WRI (wedi ei leoli yn @CUGeogPlan) i edrych ar fynediad at ddŵr a llwybrau at wytnwch yn Affrica Is-Sahara. Darganfyddwch fwy am y prosiect: youtu.be/6uENcfuWuko?si…

New paper & PhD flashback! Led by Ross Cairnduff the paper looked at diverged genomic regions between anadromous & landlocked salmon. Specifically those linked with smoltification. One SNP showed an impact irrespective of fish size (most important trigger) bit.ly/3XmiXjb

Water quality in the River Wye catchment will not improve by focusing solely on managing the level of phosphate in the water, a new study shows featuring comments from Professor Rupert Perkins @CU_EARTH countytimes.co.uk/news/24563044.…

Ni fydd ansawdd dŵr yn nalgylch Afon Gwy yn gwella drwy ganolbwyntio ar reoli lefel y ffosffad yn y dŵr yn unig, yn ôl astudiaeth newydd sy’n cynnwys sylwadau gan yr Athro Rupert Perkins @CU_EARTH countytimes.co.uk/news/24563044.…

Great to be involved in this lovely @WaterRes_J paper led by the brilliant Maggie Knight! Comparing the pros and cons of qPCR v #metagenomic approaches for detecting antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater. Data was from the the widespread Wales sampling doi.org/10.1016/j.watr…
