I can’t believe the #SETAC Young Environmental Scientists meeting in York is over… But what a week welcoming over 100 ECRs from across 5 continents to present their work and network in the city I have called home for nearly 7 years! 🤯

Nice to share recent developments in the modelling work for my PhD at the @YorkEnvironment PGR conference this week!

I've had a fascinating morning at the Supporting Wounded Veterans Rivers Forum where I presented some of our @NERCscience ECOMIX project findings.

A stunning few days out in the Peaks with the first year undergraduate EEE and HuGE @YorkEnvironment students for their field survey course work! 🗻☀️
