Does anyone have any good resources (or their own examples) for how to make a good scientific poster to share with students. Please RT!

#ClimateWeekNYC is coming up! Then #COP30. We will hear more about the need for low-carbon technologies to reduce emissions and reach net-zero. But these technologies cannot come at the expense of carbon-rich #peatlands. I explain why in my new blog- Peatpedia! open.substack.com/pub/peatpedi...

#ExcitingNews! Austria has designated Peatlands in Styrian Salzkammergut as its 25th #RamsarSite. The Styrian Salzkammergut is a region in the Alps, between the Totes Gebirge mountain range and the Styrian Dachstein plateau. @bmimi.gv.at www.ramsar.org/news/austria...

If you’re a ECR and are keen to be part of the peatlands and wetlands community in the UK (and beyond!) - please think about joining our committee and helping us grow! We have momentum now but we need it to continue!

La suite du projet sur les stocks de carbone des tourbières de Parc Canada : campagne de terrain à Wood Buffalo. Beaucoup de bisons et de forêts brulées. 🦬 Une tourbière pergélisolée a été découverte et a été carotté !!! 📌Parc national de Wood Buffalo, Territoires du Nord-Ouest et Alberta

What does the diet of bacteria have to do with the global climate? 💭🌍 Peatlands are powerful carbon sinks – if we let them stay intact. New research from ECH members shows how wetland farming – #paludiculture – and microbial life can work together to reduce #emissions without sacrificing land use. 🦠

PeatECR Bio Series #1 - just in time to introduce our first featured bio in for July 2025 💚 Today we introduce Leeza Speranskaya, a recent MSc graduate, focusing on evaporation dynamics in restiad peat bogs. Connect with Leeza here: www.linkedin.com/in/leeza-spe... #PeatECRBioSeries

New Series Alert!💚Welcome to the PeatECR bio series, a monthly spotlight on one early-career researcher/practitioner working in and around wetlands (no discrimination between peatlands and non-peatlands in this case). If you or someone you know would like to be featured, please get in touch with us!

Wetlands across Canada are indeed great treasures for Canadians and globally. But the push to fast-track 'projects of national interest', incl. critical minerals, puts these important ecosystems at significant risk. A reminder to governments that protecting wetlands is also of national interest.

Really nice article focused on the importance of Quebec #peatlands and the Carbonique project (And a mini shout out of the #PeatColours project) ici.radio-canada.ca/recit-numeri...

Début du deuxième été de terrain pour le projet de maîtrise de Frédérique à Barachois, en Gaspésie. 🍃​ L'équipe a pris plusieurs mesures de flux de GES lors des campagnes de terrain de mai et juin ! @geotopqc.bsky.social @sciences.uqam.ca

New paper out! Using over 20 years of #satellite data, we show that restored #peatlands start to resemble intact peatlands. Their #albedo and land surface #temperature (LST) gradually align with those of natural peatlands. 👉 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Another excellent day in the field - scoping out for some very exciting #swamp research!

Start as you mean to go on…! Day 2 of my new position at @uqam.ca and I’ve already been doing some #peatland fieldwork! Excellent day!

🚜🌍 Just released version 1.4 of "Build-It-Yourself: Low-Cost Systems for Field Ecophysiology". Our Open Handbook for DIY Environmental Measurement Systems. 🧪 Open science and Real Worls Use & Regional Hubs (Ghana/Philippines) at the core. 🧷 Check here: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 🔎 Feedback welcome!

The first recipient of our May #PeatNeeds is Victor Lecegui, who is studying the ecological drivers that affect microeukaryote communities in peatlands across the Iberian Peninsula. Victor will use the microgrant to buy a pair of waterproof boots and a hand lens for surveying vegetation plots.

The next recipient of our May #PeatNeeds is Johannes Cunow (@jcunow.bsky.social). Johannes is investigating the influence of snowcover changes and reindeer grazing on when and where roots grow in northern ecosystems. 1/3

I feel incredibly lucky that I get to do fieldwork in this incredible corner of the world. Throwback to yesterday's short pitstop at the Bic national park on the way to a coastal marsh on the Gaspé peninsula #QC 🇨🇦💚 This coastline is incredible even in grey and rainy weather 🏞️🌫️ #PeatSky #PeatECR

Something special for #FieldworkFriday this week 🤩 My fantastic colleague Léonie has created a video about the two flux tower installations we did this spring (or maybe winter rather? 🥶) for the #CARBONIQUE project. What a pleasure to be part of this great team! 💚 #PeatECR #PeatTwitter

Mes collègues du @cpaleolab.bsky.social @geotopqc.bsky.social et moi dénoncons fermement la décision du Gouvernement de donner le feu vert au projet d'agrandissement de Stablex. Quel est le message adressé à la communauté scientifique et aux citoyen-es ?

Des dizaines de scientifiques dénoncent la décision de la CAQ en faveur de Stablex. Le feu vert au dépotoir contrevient à la protection des milieux humides, de la biodiversité et du climat, affirment les experts. www.ledevoir.com/environnemen...

Today is the first World Day for Glaciers. However, in Austria, glaciers are rapidly vanishing. Here is a 3D comparison of Pasterze 1969-2018. In 2018, the glacier tongue was still well connected to the accumulation area of higher areas. This will soon change: www.derstandard.de/story/300000...

Happy World Wetlands Day! And what a better way to celebrate, than to announce that #PeatNeeds is back! Applications are now open for $100 CAD microgrants. #PeatECR (within 7 years of terminal degree) are eligible for funding. For more information or to apply see docs.google.com/forms/d/1O6J...

🌍 For World Wetlands Day we're launching 🚀 the most comprehensive European Wetland Map (EWM) 📅🗺️ yet! It shines a light on • types of wetlands such as peatlands, floodplains and coastal peatlands • their distribution • areas in risk of flooding Download here 👉 zenodo.org/records/1474...

We tested effects of water management (ditch blocking, subsurface irrigation) and grassland renewal on a fen #peat grassland: grassland renewal increased N2O emissions, but raised water levels by subsurface irrigation had only limited effects on #GHG emissions at our site. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ag...
