Surface temperatures in Windermere, the largest lake in England, have warmed by 1.5 degrees in the last 80 years.
Ever wondered what a worm sounds like in the soil? 🌱
Our next Counting the Earth episode uncovers hidden garden life, smart tech, and the power of citizen science. Recorded at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show with UKCEH experts + the Big British Garden Survey.
🎧 Out next week.

We were excited to be at NERC's Tech Forum last week, showcasing how UKCEH brings environmental monitoring to life through physical and digital infrastructure across land, air and water.
From water-flow measuring drones to clean air data tools, find out more about us: www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/...
We're pleased to partner on the new Good Vibrations project.
This will combine eco-acoustics with environmental DNA analyses to provide detailed insights into how river biodiversity responds to pollution and climate change.
