Happy World Wetlands Day 2026! 🍂 Celebrating the lighter side of recent peatlands fieldwork - it may be messy, but it’s not always hard work!
With @graemeswindles.bsky.social @peatbloke.bsky.social and Ellie Purdy
Last week our peatlands research group at @manchester.ac.uk overviewed our research at the @ipbes.net event "From Evidence to Action: Mobilising Greater Manchester's Science, Business & Policy Partnerships for Nature" 🍂
With Jack Brennand, @em-shuttleworth.bsky.social, @garethclay.bsky.social.
Delighted to share that I'll be joining the University of Manchester in November as Lecturer in Physical Geography!
A huge thank you to everyone who has helped me on my journey, particularly my brilliant colleagues on PIPES at Queen's University Belfast. Very excited by the opportunities ahead!
Just returned from another successful Arctic field campaign, this time at Toolik Field Station (68.6°N) in North Slope Alaska! ❄️
Undertaking peat and lake coring for @ceibheannaigh.bsky.social's NERC Fellowship - Soil to Sea: The fate of terrestrial permafrost carbon in aquatic systems 🍃🌍
Over and out - Queen’s University Belfast!
Today marks my last day at QUB, two years full of peatland research, teaching, experiments and many, many fieldtrips. Grateful to have worked alongside so many fantastic colleagues.
Now excited for the next challenge at @manchester.ac.uk!
PhD opportunity: "Mapping, modelling and monitoring peatland pollution"
Led by @em-shuttleworth.bsky.social and co-supervised by myself and Prof. Jonny Huck.

Hydrology Paper of the Day @richard-fewster.bsky.social on quantifying how Arctic peatlands change due to global warming: 12 peatlands and transects in Europe and Canada; drone aerial surface photography and 91 soil monoliths; quantitative methods of dating; and how peatlands have expanded.
Applications open for a 3-year Post Doc position in Leeds (UK) on the #UKRI funded Still Waters project. We are looking for #hydrology #geomorphology modelling skills to embed surface hydrology into #malaria models with fieldwork in Zambia. Pls contact me for more details: tinyurl.com/3356rt44
