I visited the source of the River Foss this afternoon to take a water sample. The sample will head over to Helsinki on Monday for analysis of antimicrobial resistance genes.

Had a fascinating day at the Climate Action Addingham River Wharfe event. There were some great presentations on the wonders of the river and some of the pressures on the river followed by a series of sampling demonstrations.

Ghost pingo #pond resurrection, Norfolk Brecklands. 35+ wetland plants have returned to this lost pond since it was brought back to life for @NorfolkWT <2 yrs ago. Rare species galore. The most successful form of ecological restoration known? @hburningham @tim_holt_wilson

Now that's a buffer strip to protect the beck & rehabilitate the riparian zone! Topping up with 🎄 in the channel to #slowtheflow, thanks to @LothersdaleWG #volunteers Evidence of wetter banks & reconnection with albeit small floodplain. @Riverflies heaven! Stonefly on the wing

@kirvine_water @bill_brierley @chris_harrod @guardian @AFBI_NI Spot on Ken and Chris. Some of us are still around from those early days and our PhDs were all triggered by concerns around the 1967 Anabaena bloom. But seems we are in more serious waters this time. Can we get together to respond? Will email.

@chris_harrod @guardian @AFBI_NI Absolutely, compound pressures over decades. Mind, pity the great Lough Neagh field lab was closed 20 years or so ago.

Here are samples of motorway runoff & the visual impact it is having on the river. These samples will be analysed so I'm not just going off the visual impact. This untreated runoff shouldn't be allowed to discharge to rivers without treatment. @IvelRev @SirGeogy @07DeMorgan

Processing of the #BigWindermereSurvey samples in the @LancsUniLEC labs this evening - we see evidence of the #cyanobacteria that @freshwaterbio describe, but we also see how patchy the accumulations are - many samples show no visible evidence, whilst others certainly quite green

Fantastic turn out for our 6th #BigWindermereSurvey! Some of our #CitizenScientists are reporting some small slicks of #cyanobacteria scums along the shoreline of #Windermere. We've found a small bloom of #Woronichinia under our #microscopes. Thanks to all who contributed!

Receiving citizen science collected water samples for nutrients and faecal bacteria for the Big Windermere Survey led by @LancsUniLEC @freshwaterbio this morning. The project is injecting much needed science into the Windermere water quality debate

Jo Brand, comedian extraordinaire, translates my climate science for real people. As she says "If people like me have to get involved you know we are in deep trouble" Another brilliant video from @ClimateSciBreak Short version 👇 Long version: youtu.be/lfc6WF0ToVY

#OnThisDay in 1859, Charles Darwin's landmark book 'On the Origin of Species' was first published. The work is one of the foundations of evolutionary biology, and one of the most important scientific works of the 19th century. #HistoryOfScience
