Early 🎄🎁: TWO interdisciplinary, funded PhDs! One w me as lead - ecosystem & human health outcomes of Biodiversity Net Gain w @northwildlife.bsky.social & Dr Auriba Raza @glasgow.ac.uk. Other led by Dr Katrin Prager @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social looking at nature markets for small-scale organic growers

🚨Fun PhD! 🚨 Fieldwork in UK botanical hotspot - Upper Teesdale - cool tech (telemetry, drones, LiDAR) & microclimate modelling to understand land-use*climate interactions. With me & Sean Twiss @durham.ac.uk, Sarah Greenwood @stir.ac.uk & CASE partner @naturalengland.bsky.social Link: rb.gy/vex2tm

This is a truly insane (in a good way!) and much needed piece of work. Well done @krystofchytry.bsky.social et al.!

10 days left to apply for this postdoc with Andy Suggitt at @northumbriauni.bsky.social, plus @tnewbold31.bsky.social at UCL & myself @durham.ac.uk! Integrating #microclimate into global #biodiversity models to understand climate*land-use interactions 🌍🌡️🌳 work4.northumbria.ac.uk#en/sites/CX_...

I FOUND IT. I once read a great line about how weather station data are only useful for things living on the weather station. I wanted to cite it but could never remember the damn paper! By sheer luck, it found me. From @mikekaspari.bsky.social in @globalchangebio.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2jyd4z72

Absolute pleasure to contribute to this @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social paper out yesterday, cooked up at the Species on the Move (SOTM) Conference in 2023. Takeaway: species on the move under climate change can move along many gradients and dimensions, at multiple scales! doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

Update!! We have extended the deadline to 4th May and we're now inviting applications from anyone working on rewilding in North England or South Scotland. If that sounds like you, please apply to join us in July!
