🌏Using a global database of the radiocarbon content of rivers, isotopic mass balance suggests that about 60% of river carbon dioxide from millennial or older carbon sources Read the latest research article published in Nature by our former external editor, Joshua Dean www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A global analysis reveals that most carbon dioxide emitted by rivers derives not from modern plant material, as was thought, but from ancient, buried carbon https://go.nature.com/3FQOdls

No advert out yet, but I will recruiting a 2yr postdoc, start date autumn 2025, at @livunigeog.bsky.social soon. Lowland and upland peatlands, GHGs, DOM and water chemistry. Plenty of fieldwork. Feel free to drop me a DM or email if you might be interested, and please spread the word.

An international team led by @joshfdean.bsky.social University of Bristol studied 700+ river sites across 26 countries. The findings could reshape how we understand global #carbon emissions Read more: bristol.ac.uk/news/2025/ju...

A new study from @joshfdean.bsky.social & @gemmacoxon.bsky.social has revealed for the first time that ancient carbon, stored in landscapes for thousands of years or more, can find its way back to the atmosphere as CO₂ released from the surfaces of rivers.

1/3: New paper: how do masting plants optimise the delay in reproduction? Having gaps (years) between reproductive events starves seed predators, increasing fitness. But they are also missed opportunities for reproduction. How do plants fine-tune the length of the time gaps to maximise fitness?

Thank you @michaelemann.bsky.social and @climatebook.bsky.social for this well written critique of ARIA's solar geoengineering research plans which are extremely risky and a huge distraction:

Lovely to be out in the field for some bog pool bothering. Some huge ebullition events visible in some. Looking forward to getting back with some 24hr chambers to capture these.

As director of CESAB, I'm incredibly proud to share the latest article of our postdocs today in Ecology Letters. 👏 They call for a more ethical academic publishing landscape but also ask to not let only the Early Career Researchers pay the price of this paradigm shift ! doi.org/10.1111/ele.... 🧪🌍
