New job alert! Interested in applied research increasing our understanding of water resilience, nature based solutions and rewilding? @exeter.ac.uk we are looking for a Technical Specialist, working with me and others in Geography and @uoe-creww.bsky.social jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecr...

New PhD funding opportunity: Quantifying natural flood management through peatland restoration in the upland moorland environment (Physical Geography @exeter.ac.uk ) @dpanici.bsky.social @philipimetcalfe.bsky.social @uoe-creww.bsky.social www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...

Flying up through the National Trust Holnicote Stage 0 river restoration site last week. Fantastic to see how much water is being held in the reconnected floodplain despite the recent drought conditions!

New paper! Human, or Nature-led? A Spectrum of Nature-based Solutions Along with @austerroger.bsky.social Naomi Gatis and Richard Brazier @uoe-creww.bsky.social @uniexecec.bsky.social our perspective on #NbS as a spectrum from human-led to nature-led www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

For anyone interested in peatland restoration and natural flood management we have an exciting new funded PhD opportunity @exeter.ac.uk @uoe-creww.bsky.social supported the Environment Agency and South West Peatland Partnership: www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...

#beaver watching on the River Otter last night with colleagues from @uoe-creww.bsky.social will never get bored of either seeing the beavers or peoples reaction to spotting them for the first time!

Starting the week with sunny fieldwork at the @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social #beaver project! Has matured into an incredible wetland!

Post conference session explore along the Danube. #Beaver signs everywhere! #EGU25

Eurostar and Nightjet trains to Vienna for #EGU25 looking forward to presenting our @exeter.ac.uk and Devon Wildlife Trust work seeking to make space for water in our landscapes and work with beavers to deliver Nature-based Solutions. @egu.eu lnkd.in/ef2RtVJD

Beaver survey fieldwork fun

Hydrological monitoring and Beaver watching #fieldworkfun

Great to see our @exeter.ac.uk #beaver research featured on BBC Countryfile last night: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

A landmark moment for beavers in England! 🚨 To unlock their benefits, we now need widespread population expansion - it’s time to normalise this native species. We’re reviewing today’s announcement against key tests we set out in our initial response earlier today 👇 t.co/dHU4806zrM

The 3rd and final #beaver site surveyed in the River Otter catchment this week. Upstream of the village of East Budleigh, our monitoring has shown this wetland to significantly reduce downstream peak flows. @exeter.ac.uk

The 2nd #beaver site I surveyed with Devon Wildlife Trust yesterday. Here the landowner has been supported by a Farming in Protected Landscapes grant to make space for beavers and this extraordinary wetland. @exeter.ac.uk

#beaver droning with Devon Wildlife Trust today. Amazing seeing the dams and wetland spread all the way across the valley bottom now at this site #NatureBasedSolutions @exeter.ac.uk @uoe-creww.bsky.social

Two exciting peatland and upland PhD opportunities led by my excellent colleague Naomi Gatis @exeter.ac.uk @uoe-creww.bsky.social

Check out this interesting #geomorphology PhD project below! If you would like us to advertise your PhD project - tag us in your posts! 🙂

Drone surveys of Stokeinteignhead a Natural Flood Managment site we're monitoring as part of Devon Resilience Innovation Project. Can nature-based approaches provide effective flood resilience to comunities in rapid response catchments? Monitoring and modelling results to follow! @exeter.ac.uk

Mid Storm Éowyn today fantastic to see the water being held in a #beaver wetland at one of the sites we've been monitoring since 2015 @exeter.ac.uk

Great to hide away at Dartington Hall today and get some writing done!

Two exciting EPSRC PhD opportunities in our group @uoe-creww.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk . One to develop mechanistic understanding into the hydrological impacts of beaver wetlands. Another looks into modelling nature-based solutions for flash floods in deserts. See thread for further information ⬇️

Great time presenting @britishecolsoc.bsky.social in Liverpool. I’ll definitely be back. A fascinating range of #beaver #rewilding and #NbS presentations

Looking forward to my first @britishecolsoc.bsky.social conference this week. Presenting #beaver research in partnership with Devon Wildlife Trust. Multiple other members of our @uoe-creww.bsky.social @uniofexeter.bsky.social team going, come along and say hi if there!

The Bluesky page for @uoe-creww.bsky.social is currently live! We look forward to share novel research and advances in water, the environment, and eco-hydrological resilience from the people in our centre based at @uniofexeter.bsky.social. Watch this space!

PhDs galore! We currently have a suite of prospective Environmental Science PhD projects that would be supervised by academics in the Centre for Resilience in Environment, Water and Waste (CREWW) at the University of Exeter. Please see thread below for full details and how to apply.

Drone surveys from #beaver wetlands in England. At both sites beavers have created wetland habitat and reduced stormflow. However, one site is in the middle of a city and the other a forest, illustrating the breadth of landscapes where we can seek to implement nature-recovery and provide #NbS.

Fieldwork Fridays: hydrology, autumn colours, wood in rivers restoration and a new feathered fieldwork assistant, what’s not to like! @dpanici.bsky.social

Time to start planning for #EGU25 ! Work on any aspect of riverscape restoration? Submit to session GM10.2. Deadline is Jan 15th but never too early! Early career scientists can apply for support if submit by Dec 2nd.

Performing ‘ctrl alt delete’ on a river...the National Trust led 'Stage 0' project at the Holnicote. The first large-scale attempt to reset a UK river to fully reconnect with the floodplain. One year on the BBC have created a short film summarising the project: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp7K...

Great to be in Vienna for #EGU24

My research themes according to Google Scholar and this fun shiny app: scholargoggler.com?s=09

Great to see hydrology paper of the day transfer over to Bluesky! Thanks @kinarnicholas.bsky.social

Great to see the beavers settling into the Plymouth site. Really like the education and engagement opportunities the urban location offers

This weeks fieldwork - stage 0 river restoration and beaver wetland creation looking fantastically messy at National Trust Holnicote

Great news, been a great project to work on: Beavers in Cairngorms for first time in 400 years www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scot...

Thought I’d give Bluesky a go, will mostly be posting random photos from my #beaver #hydrology and #naturebasedsolutions fieldwork
