Great #WWD2024Scotland @ourdynamicearth facillating a workshop on Nature based Solutions #NbS #NFM and #SuDS. Lots of interesting discussions on knowledge gaps and development of action plan to address them.

Excited to start my #secondment with the @EnvAgency today on Pathways to #NetZero project. Great to start meeting some of the team @hbrooks94 and discuss what we'll be doing over next 6 months or so. @egis @HeriotWattUni Thanks to @IDRICUK for the funding.

Day out exploring the Allan Water #catchment and Nature Based Solutions for #flood and #biodiversity benefits for @mstetkiewicz @IapetusDTP PhD research. #NbS #NFM

#Geography student #fieldtrip to Gullane sand dunes. We surveyed the #dunes and measured range of weather and #soil related variables along with #vegetation. Great fun! and hopefully students learnt a lot. @hwgeog @HWU_EGIS

Great day out in the #Eddleston #Water #catchment planning some #woody debris dam #monitoring and experiments. Pleasantly warm and sunshine! #fieldwork #nfm #NbS

Also another PhD Project with Leo Peskett. Join our ever expanding NbS research group and do a PhD on "Squeezing the middle ground: nature-based solutions and the #hydrology of marginal lands" #NbS #NFM #Flooding. Deadline 6th Jan iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/s…

Last few days (6th Jan) to apply for PhD on #Urban #Flooding and Green #Infrastructure with @daniellgreen and myself #SuDS #NbS iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/m…

Thanks to the @ForthRiversT for discussing their Allan Water #NFM project with us and giving us a tour of the #catchment. #NBS #Flood #EcosystemServices #biodiversity. @mstetkiewicz and @tabasad will be researching this for next 3.5 years. Exciting times and collaboration.

Our #HydroNation scholars @JulzeAlejandre @LessWasteLaura & @TabasAD at @UWS for the Autumn Meeting of #SUGIR #SuDsnet sharing their PhD projects on #bluegreen infrastructures & how these can improve #publichealth. Thank you @RebeccaCarrotte for the invite and the opportunity!

@Marty_Ege @CllrScottArthur Congratulations Martina!!

Passed my Ph.D. viva today. I thank my supervisors Dr. Scott Arthur (@CllrScottArthur)and Dr. Lindsay Beevers for their constant support and supervision. It was a great discussion with my examiners that make all of this a very pleasant experience.

Fun playing with #playdoh in this mornings #River #Geomorphology class, thinking about #catchment #scale #sediment sources. Some really nice models incorporating lots of sources.

Great day out in the field with our final year #physical #geographers to the #Eddleston #Water catchment to look at a range of Natural #Flood Management interventions #NFM #NbS. Even the #rain didn't spoil the fun. Thanks to @tweed_forum for facilitating the visit.

Proud of all our 4th year Physical #Geographers who presented their #dissertation proposals and work to date as posters. Great to see the variety of topics and enthusiasm. Thanks to organisers, supervisors and students to make our inaugural event a success! @HWU_EGIS @hwgeog

Great to demonstrate fluvial geomorphological process and forms with this #sediment flume / stream table. #rivers #geomorphology #meanders #erosion. Thanks to @ForthRiversT for their input to.

Great (if a little damp) day on the water exploring the Firth of Forth with marine and coastal geography students @HeriotWattUni @ILES_HWU yesterday!

Great day out in the field assessing #river #geomorphology. Unfortunately river levels and velocity too dangerous to do all we planned but still an enjoyable day out !

Had two great days at Peter Wolf Symposium @UniStrathclyde organised by @britishhydrosoc , @ScottishEPA , @CREW_waters . Great opportunity to present my work and learn about the great work of other felow #Hydrologists.

Fun day in the field with #geography students measuring #river channels and flow @hwgeog @HeriotWattUni @HWU_EGIS #lowflows

Had a great day in Duxford yesterday presenting my findings about the impact of leys, sheep grazing and direct drilling on #SoilHealth at the @niabgroup SARIC project open day. Thank you to the project team and to everyone who joined us in the field!

It’s also our SARIC project open day today. The project is all about'Restoring soil quality through re-integration of leys and sheep into arable rotations', and our attendees have an informative afternoon of talks and demonstrations...
