🌿 New Paper Alert: Newly Forming Peatlands in Aotearoa/New Zealand! 🌿 Our study shows peat has been accumulating in a recently deglaciated valley in the Southern Alps, Aotearoa/New Zealand, since ∼1949 C.E. As glaciers retreat & climates warm, new peatlands could emerge—key for carbon storage. 1/🧵

🚨Fully funded PhD opportunity!🚨 Join CREWW, the University of Exeter’s world-leading research group tackling water & environmental challenges. This PhD, funded by South West Water & the Environment Agency, will explore upland valley mire restoration & its role in climate resilience. Please share!

Thrilled to share that our study on the Antarctic Peninsula's recent greening trend was chosen as NASA Earth Observatory's 'Image of the Day'! Huge thanks to the research team, and to NASA for this unexpected share! Does this mean I can finally wear a NASA t-shirt legitimately?! shorturl.at/XUv1d
