A fantastic 2 days spent with @NUGeog 1st year Env Sci students exploring Northumberland & @NorthWildlife -challenges of conservation, ecology, people&nature, pollution- and getting to know our new cohort!

How biodegradable are natural textile fibres? 🤔 see Viewpoint led by Dr Tom Stanton @lborouniversity with @IMPACTnetwork23 @NUGeog @NorthumbriaUni @alanamjames @kjsher @AnilNamdeoNCL @OkaforKechi @DrGalli85 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

#microfibres #anthropogenicfibres thanks to @kjsher and panel and speakers for an insipiring session! #SETACSeville

📣 CALL NOW OPEN: Impact Innovation Fund The @IMPACTnetwork23 at @NorthumbriaUni are funding short to mid-term cross-disciplinary innovation projects exploring the measure of environmental impact across the fashion and textiles value chain Link in bio to find out more⬇

A small reminder to get your abstracts submitted for the Microplastics Workshop for Early Career Researchers! The deadline is less than a month away, and we're looking forward to seeing you there! Get more information at: microplasticsworkshop.com

Come and work with us @YorkEnvironment on an exciting, multi-institution two year @LeverhulmeTrust funded project looking at the impact of #flooding on #earthworms #job #postdoc #SoilHealth See jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/resear… for details or email me direct mark.hodson@york.ac.uk

Next talk is on a Thursday for a change, 25.04, "Concrete Jungles? The value of cities for biodiversity" by @Mark_A_Goddard of @NorthumbriaUni @NUGeog in person at @KingsPriory See poster for details 👇or get in touch via gatynewear@gmail.com Brenda Turnbull, Branch Chair 🌍

Fieldwork =😎 outdoor office today! With level 6 @NUGeog on waste, pollution & microplastics. @OlaKwiecien3

@IMPACTnetwork23 symposium today @NorthumbriaUni discussing how we tackle the environmental impact of fashion @NUGeog

On this #WorldSoilDay, I am delighted to announce a brand-new MSc Degree in Soil Science & Soil Scientist Apprenticeship at @CranfieldUni 🎉 I'm extremely proud & excited to be the Course Director for what will be the UK's first MSc level #Soil Apprenticeship Launching June 24*

New paper klaxon 🎉🎉🎉 Shedding Off The Grid 1️⃣Microfibre shedding studies are not representative of global laundry practices. 2️⃣Textile makers and retailers must take responsibility for fibre shedding. 3️⃣We found garment construction influenced shedding more than fibre type.

📢Funded PhD opportunity @NUGeog @ONEPlanetDTP project: 'Grow or Mow' Exploring impacts of #urban greenspace management on #pollinators and #soil ecosystem services🐝🦋🌱🪱 Deadline: 11th Jan 2024 More info and links in 🧵

Interested in studying above and below ground interactions AND interested in allotments AND microbial ecology? Then why not apply for this PhD opportunity with me : ) findaphd.com/phds/project/o…

Hey soil biologist out there, plenty of work still to be done🍄🤎🤩 ‘Uncharted territory’: more than 2m fungi species yet to be discovered, scientists say theguardian.com/environment/20…

🧥🔬Very successful first event for the @IMPACTnetwork23 project organised @KingsCollegeLon last week, where we demonstrated how easily textile fibres can be lost by garments and reach the environment! Thank you everyone for having participated! ukft.org/innovation/imp…

Fantastic day out with 2nd yr EnvScience students @NUGeog learning about Hadrian's Wall Nature Recovery project. Huge thanks to Steven, Chris & staff at @TheSillNland & @andysuggitt

The IMPACT+ team welcomed their Network project partners to a kick-off event on Friday @NorthumbriaUni. Values, ways of working and inclusivity were amongst the key topics of conversation #industrycollaboration #transparency #knowledgeexchange

A busy week getting to know our new 1st year EnvScience! @NUGeog Thanks @NorthWildlife @Nlandia for sharing great insights & challenges in conservation.

A new paper on #microplastics and earthworms from the @soilplastics project authors.elsevier.com/c/1hnzoB8ccyexb

Very excited to share 2 new papers in @theAGU @EarthsFutureEiC showing how achieving the @UNEP SDGs #goodgoals requires coupled natural-human studies. Really useful updated CZ diagram @CZCNet @carbonlandscape @David_M_Oliver @timquine @NERCscience 1: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
