Join us for the Peatland Science Symposium! 📍 Université Laval, Québec City 🗓 Feb 18, 2026 Students, researchers & partners will share cutting-edge peatland research. Don’t miss this chance to connect! ✅ Register now: my.weezevent.com/peatland-sci... #Peatlands #ScienceSymposium #Research

Peat friends! Our #EGU26 session "Peatland hydrology: From tropical to subarctic latitudes" 🌍🌿💧 is open for abstracts. We welcome studies on a broad range of hydrological processes in peatlands. Submission deadline is Thu 15 Jan, 13:00 CET. Full info here: www.egu26.eu/session/56151

Excited to share the first publication from my PhD work on swamps! We conducted a synoptic study of 12 swamps across southern Ontario looking at carbon pools and fluxes. doi.org/10.19189/001...

Voilá! 🎉 #PeatECR (peatecr.com) is excited to announce that the #2026PeatECRCalendar is officially ready! This year’s calendar showcases 12 stunning peatland wild life photographs contributed by peatland researchers.

Scientists are expected to do peer reviewing but no one tells you HOW. After talking with several folks about this today at #AGU24 , it seems a good time to link to this presentation I made several years ago -- feel free to use/share! docs.google.com/presentation...

PeatDepth-ML: A Global Map of Peat Depth Predicted using Machine Learning egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

Really pleased to be part of this new study led by Josh Hashemi showing that to accurately upscale CH₄ budgets, especially in complex landscapes, we need high-res data and land-cover classes that reflect the key enviro factors driving CH4 production and emissions www.nature.com/articles/s43...

My colleague @avnimalh0tra.bsky.social is hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate to investigate rhizosphere processes influencing methane (CH₄) dynamics in northern peatlands! Super cool opening -- please circulate careers.pnnl.gov/jobs/11061?l...

New Study in ES&T! Permafrost peatlands accumulate mercury from distant sources, but thaw causes collapse into wetter bogs and fens. Lauren Thompson shows that these bogs, and especially fens, become hotspots for mercury methylation, and potential downstream transport. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Do you mentor scientific writing, or use written assignments in the science courses you teach? Do you find mentoring/teaching writing hard, or time consuming? (Because it is!) Our new book can help, and it's getting close to being in your hands.

New review on Forest to bog restoration - wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... . A useful and timely summary. Strong agree with the statement that the evidence is spatially biased to Scotland!

🧪 Did you know drought stress can have a legacy effect on recalcitrant compounds in leaf litter? 🍃 Or that deforestation added an extra 3°C in the past 20 years? 🌡️ Read more, plus a timeless concept about wetlands (hint: it's about protecting them), in Peatmail: peatmail.substack.com/p/lessons-wr...

Find out about the depth and extent of upland #peat on the Isle of Man by viewing our new interactive peatland map 😁 You can also view photographs 📸 of restoration areas, at fixed points, which will show changes over time. Visit our website to find out more www.manxpeat.org/map
