Fully funded PhD available examining the critical role ditches and other smaller water bodies play in global C-cycles! Working with myself, @MikePeacock86 @ames_e_p and Jens-Arne Subke and join the @IapetusDTP community! iapetus.ac.uk/studentships/t…

I'm thrilled to see this paper out, which I co-led with @DitchOntologist, and featuring input from loads of excellent co-authors. It's our interdisciplinary perspective on ditches; what they do, why they matter, and how we should look after them. nature.com/articles/s4324…

Tomorrow at @IASC_Arctic Science Summit Week Alanna Grant & colleagues will present updates from @BIOPOLE_NERC fieldwork in Svalbard, including results from metals analysis, dissolved GHGs, algae experiments & other biogeochemical properties buff.ly/4bdrQSo #ASSW2024

If you're attending Arctic Science Summit Week in Edinburgh, come along to our @BIOPOLE_NERC session on Friday! Learn more about our work assessing the effects of a changing cryosphere on nutrient transport from land to sea in polar ecosystems. @BAS_News @UK_CEH

Global warming means we are accelerating towards tipping points that will trigger irreversible environmental changes, according to a new report launched at #COP28 today UKCEH scientists contributed to a chapter assessing large-scale changes in lakes. 🔗ceh.ac.uk/news-and-media…

#GreenhouseGasAqua boat meet #GHGAqua flux tower…! Fabulous morning testing boat mounted water quality & bathymetry sensors on Esthwaite Water with @DrEllie_Mackay, @Gareth_McShane_ & Nick Chappell. @NERCscience @UK_CEH innovation in action…!

📢PhD opportunity!📷 Interested in the dynamics of black carbon in fluvial networks? Check out our new fully funded @IapetusDTP project, based at the University of Glasgow to learn more. Please share with networks and any potential applicants! iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/b…

Interested in ponds and greenhouse gas emissions? I'll shortly be advertising a PhD at University of Liverpool with the title: "How do fish affect greenhouse gas emissions from small waterbodies?"

I'm not at #PeatConf23 this year - but my poster for 'Tracking the Colour of Peatlands' project is! We have sites confirmed in Finland, Sweden, Wales and Ireland (and hopefully Ecuador!) If you want to take part - please reach out #PeatTwitter

The GHG legacy of coal mining explored in this new paper - the third paper from Alison Brown's recently finished @IapetusDTP PhD. Linked below 👇 @UK_CEH

Timely new paper from @UKCEHPapers+ others, considering it's #Power2Peatlandsweek. Shows large uncertainty about how and if peat catchment management will alter DOM quality + quantity. A brief thread. 1/6 bg.copernicus.org/articles/20/37… #PeatTwitter

We need more machine operators skilled and experienced in #PeatlandRestoration. To support new entrants into the sector, #PeatlandACTION is offering funding to employers who can provide work-based, learner-focused training and mentoring. Learn more: rb.gy/igwoe

Sunny field day learning about #peatmotioncameras at the Wou bog earlier this week. Now to get a pair installed at our @euMERLINproject peatland restoration monitoring site #twinning @JonayJovani @UK_CEH

Water quality sensors on my @UK_CEH #ARCboat! A YSI EXO and a spectrometer plus depth sounder…! For @NERCscience Greenhouse Gas Aqua project. Too busy driving to get an action video, but all seemed to work…! Huge potential for mapping water quality & pollution as well as GHG

'Knowing what's in Scotland's rivers can help us to take better care of them' - great opinion piece in @pressjournal by Dr Eulyn Pagaling environmental microbiologist @JamesHuttonInst - partners with our Motts4Rivers project' pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/opinion/588…

Was great to see a @BIOPOLE_NERC science talk by Prof Bryan Spears from @UK_CEH and Prof Kate Hendry from @BAS_News while in Ny Alesund last week. The talk was open to all in the community and was very well attended. Thanks to @NorskPolar for organising it! @KRHendry

Like ditches*? Going to AGU? Then you should submit an abstract to this session led by @DitchOntologist *who doesn't? agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/preli…

As part of the UKWP strategic workstream on GHGs, we aim to run targeted workshops with key stakeholders. To help shape these events and indicate your interest in attending, please complete the survey at (lnkd.in/eUjp6Us9, 5-10 min, closes08/08/23) #water #ClimateAction

A fantastic weekend spent with Simon Armatige, the poet laureate, recording for BBC Radio 4. We saw some amazing icebergs and our first polar bear of the trip! Lots more to do for the rest of the month. @BIOPOLE_NERC @UK_CEH @BAS_News @ArcticStationUK
