Due to the current lockdown our Masters students are unable to carry out dissertation fieldwork. Do any of our wonderful alumni in consultancies have any data they could share for desk based research? 🙏 RT [email protected]

Finished registering so officially going to start my Environmental Monitoring Modelling and Reconstruction MSc at #UoM next month! Excited to spend the next year back in Manchester, even if it's a little different thanks to Covid!

Instead of #DoomScrolling, it’s time for a bit of #DuneScrolling - pictures of dunes wherever they maybe - on the beach or in a desert, young or historic, small or mega-dunes - here are a few of mine to get started!

A fantastic weekend spent with Simon Armatige, the poet laureate, recording for BBC Radio 4. We saw some amazing icebergs and our first polar bear of the trip! Lots more to do for the rest of the month. BIOPOLE UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology British Antarctic Survey 🐧 NERC Arctic Research Station

A second #FieldworkFriday post because this place deserves it! Ny Alesund is such a stunning place to work. Two more weeks to go and lots more to do! Now back to the lab to filter all the water samples we've collected today. BIOPOLE NERC Arctic Research Station UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology

Back home after an amazing 2 weeks in Ny Ålesund, Svalbard as part of the BIOPOLE project with UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, where I was conducting algal growth experiments in rivers. What an absolutely stunning place!

And that's a wrap on the first BIOPOLE land based field campaign! What an incredible month. Over 1500 samples collected including water, sediment, #GHG, and eDNA. Big thanks to everyone who has helped us make this a success! UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology NERC Arctic Research Station British Antarctic Survey 🐧

I'm sadly no longer able to make it today but if you're attending the BIOPOLE session you'll still be able to hear about some algal growth experiments in Svalbard, as well as other exciting work from the BIOPOLE team! Big thanks to Alanna for organising the session!

Back from BIOPOLE campaign, sampling Tana river with UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology . Great work by Alanna Grant to find us "cabin lab"...turns out saunas make for a great water purification system set up. Successful sciencing, and even some reindeer pals!
