Our just-published paper in @Nature finds that river invertebrate diversity across Europe has generally increased over the past 6 decades (👍) but that the recovery has slowed to halt of late (👎). nature.com/articles/s4158… @QM_SBBS @QMUL

Only 3 days to go - this is going to be such a rubbish night out! Come and listen to @olifranklin talk about wasteland - an eye opening read that’ll make you question the contents of your bin and charity bag. I might say a bit about #historiclandfill @QMULGeography @QMUL_HSS
Simon & Schuster UK@simonschusterUK
Join @olifranklin in conversation with @DrKateSpencer at 7:30pm on 29th June at @TheWansteadtap as they discuss his shocking yet hopeful new book #Wasteland: The Dirty Truth About What We Throw Away, Where it Goes, and Why It Matters... >> eventbrite.co.uk/e/wasteland-ol…

Key findings:
💧Multiple independent lines of evidence are required to diagnose the cause of pollution in rivers
💧Among different sources of pollution, recent low oxygen events have the strongest effect on river macroinvertebrates
English
🚨New paper alert🚨
What do macroinvertebrate indices measure? How do multiple stressors confound their interpretation?

Well the votes are in from the audience here on what is the main cause of marine litter @Channel_Manche I am not sure I agree entirely, but the key point is we all have a role and by working together that we can fix this global environmental challenge !

Fantastic to see so many @PlymUni projects presenting at the @Channel_Manche Annual Event @EdenProject today. A real testament to the research achievements that have been made working with our partners in Europe
