Lovely Friday news; our EPSRC Impact Accelerator Account proposal has been successfully funded. Titled "Ditching Methane to Engineer Net Zero" (yes, it's about ditches), and with @laurabaugh94.bsky.social and @peatblogger.bsky.social also on board. Looking forward to more ditch GHG work in 2026.

Spent the day with the fantastic Marvis setting up an experiment on a bog- never would have imagined I'd be sprinkling fertiliser on a peatland to help them but here we are

Another day another collar

This is a longshot... but does anyone know where I can get 10-12 kDa mwco dialysis tubing (preferably one that doesn't come in like 100 feet rolls and cost hundreds of great British pounds?)

A rather damp day sampling Hatch Mere with @peatblogger.bsky.social for the @gleonetwork.bsky.social GasLit project. Five sites sampled (4 x littoral, 1 x pelagic) for greenhouse gases and temp/O2 profiles.

O kurwa

Imagine getting into a fight with this fucker

Which desk do you reckon is mine?

Lovely day spent getting my flux on

Is academia a great path? Probably not. Can I say that you should choose government or the NGO sector or even tech for a more stable lifestyle? No! Do I have the slightest idea what to advise you to do with your life? No, no I do not.

Another reason to celebrate today. FANTASTIC news for biodiversity in England. Important to recognise when Labour, Defra & @naturalengland.bsky.social do something really hugely positive for nature, both symbolically and in practice. Well done them. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We have a new #blog: Nina Overtoom from @york.ac.uk wrote about the fieldwork she conducted in 2024 at the #Welsh #LTE Cors Fochno & the insights it offers on #ClimateChange. This work was made possible by a grant from us in partnership with the @rambleworldwide.bsky.social bit.ly/4b7qOYs

I love generative AI

#EGU25 will have many great #peatland sesssions, and if you work on #paludiculture, restoration or managed peatlands, ours might be the one for you: 👉 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... @tannebergerf.bsky.social, Łukasz Kozub, Hanna Silvennoinen, Sue Page,

A little summary of an epic fieldwork we did this year on peatlands on Disko Island, #Greenland with @peatblogger.bsky.social & Sambor Czerwiński was published this week in our Życie Uniwersyteckie AMU Magazine. It's in Polish but the photo says it all 😍 #INTERACT #ArcticStation #disco

Ey-up! Seems as though a significant number of peaty researchers have recently made the move to Bluesky, so I better follow suit. I'm a little hesitant to leave twitter altogether (that's what Elon wants) but its pretty quiet over there now
