Great start to #peatland science sessions at #EGU25 with the Paludiculture, peatland management and restoration session!

Yannick Bocko starts the second day of our African Peatlands science meeting at the @royalsociety.org with a presentation on the diversity of Congo peatland vegetation biomass - the machinery driving peat accumulation in this carbon-dense ecosystem @congopeat.bsky.social

@DargieGreta gets our @royalsociety.org African peatlands meeting off to a great start with a review of state of knowledge of these globally important carbon-dense ecosystems @congopeat.bsky.social

Welcome to the CongoPeat Bluesky account. We are a scientific program researching the past, present and future of the world's largest tropical peatland complex. Please follow our page to keep up to date with research, news and events regarding the central Congo peatlands.

The programme for our upcoming scientific meeting on the theme of tropical #peatlands in Africa is now live. The meeting will be held at the Royal Society in London and will be streamed online. To register for free or find out more visit: ow.ly/BEu550UCvZg @royalsocietypublishing.org

It’s a fiscal pothole all on its own. Absolute clowns.

Where is all the money?

Review of @corinnefowler.bsky.social excellent book “Our Island Stories.” She has found such an interesting new way to tell our story. A good one for the Christmas wish list!

Someone needs to do a Google Maps, but for the past. For example, typing in "London to York" but you can select a period e.g. 1450s, and it would give you the likeliest route. That'd be great.

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

Why many free speech absolutism is nearly always intellectually dishonest and one-sided, in one minute. I note, for example, that many of those most angry about Alison Pearson’s experience were exactly those calling for police action against things they didn’t like being said on the Gaza protests.

Today, @carbonbrief.org has published the latest, and most comprehensive, update to our interactive map of extreme weather attribution. The redesigned map now includes almost 750 extreme events and trends from more than 600 studies. interactive.carbonbrief.org/attribution-... THREAD 1/10

Tesco's annual profit is around £3bn a year Amazon's about $270bn and Gregg's £188m. These complaints are on behalf of shareholders and owners, not workers. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Not peat this time - but seasonal pumpkins! #Chartwell @nationaltrust.bsky.social

I've just joined @bsky.app ! Hoping to meet fellow peatland and climate scientists; walkers; gardeners; cooks and happy souls.
