First paper accepted! Interested in #saltmarsh stability, and how substrate properties might affect #resistance to erosion? Check out our paper as part of NERC_RESIST BLUEcoast at: doi.org/10.1002/esp.49…. Thanks to all co-authors tagged below and Tom Spencer Cambridge Geography

Great to see another RESIST output thanks to the stellar efforts of Ben Evans exploring interior #saltmarsh dynamics. Relevant to questions around #coastalwetland restoration, #ecosystemservices, wetland resilience, etc... Early access version here: mdpi.com/2077-1312/9/3/…

Great to see this work published. A step change in our understanding of what lies beneath the surface of #saltmarshes. Very honoured to have had you on our NERC_RESIST team, @Clem_Chirol.

Just starting now: UK Research and Innovation session at #COP26 on how research and innovation can tackle climate change. youtube.com/watch?v=n3Ac6E…

Salt marshes are #biodiverse, store #carbon and protect against #flooding. Find out more in our video about the impact of #climatechange and human impacts on our coasts ahead of #COP26 Cambridge FilmWorks youtube.com/watch?app=desk…

Tune in to learn about our exciting research into how and why #saltmarshes erode and therefore how we can improve their ability to use salt marshes as effective #naturebasedsolutions to flooding in a changing climate. #COP26 Cambridge FilmWorks youtube.com/watch?app=desk…

We CT-scanned #marsh #soils to create high-res 3D images to understand why & where erosion occurs. The shape & distribution of roots & voids varied with vegetation & sediment type. #COP26 Cambridge FilmWorks doi.org/10.1002/esp.51…

RESIST aimed to understand #saltmarsh resistance to #erosion in the face of #climatechange. We wrote a lit review, undertook field/lab work, and captured drone images, which can be used to map erosion and plant species. #COP26 Cambridge FilmWorks doi.org/10.1002/esp.49…

Exciting to see these published, including contributions from our very own Iris Moeller Trinity Geography . Fantastic resources for now and in the future!

The vital role of mangroves for climate change mitigation and adaptation about to start at #COP26 Exploring how coastal #BlueCarbon is an important component of dealing with the issues. Follow livestream here: youtube.com/watch?v=x_23c5…

#UlfathIbrahim of #Maldives talking about the ambition to develop 70 blue carbon reserves based on coastal wetlands, mangroves. #COP26 Important for carbon, sea defences and biodiversity.

Fascinating session on #BlueCarbon at #COP26 highlighting the importance of connection between science, policy and most importantly communities in protecting and restoring mangroves and other coastal wetlands. Available to watch/review: youtube.com/watch?v=x_23c5…

As we enter the final day of #COP26, lets hope that the draft declaration strengthens clause 20 on #naturebasedsolutions and delivers on clauses 56-59 to consider the interface between ocean and land as a critical focus of mitigation and adaptation efforts.

In this paper, we CT-scanned #marsh #soils to create high-res 3D images. Our scans of marsh soils in SE and NW England found that the shape and distribution of roots/voids varies with vegetation/sediment type. #WorldWetlandsDay Cambridge FilmWorks doi.org/10.1002/esp.51…

Our field/flume data show that the sediment and vegetation type affect the resistance of #marshes to #erosion. We recorded more erosion in sandy sediments and more erosion close to roots and voids. #WorldWetlandsDay Cambridge FilmWorks

We aimed to understand #saltmarsh resistance to #erosion. We wrote a review paper (doi.org/10.1002/esp.49…), which highlighted a knowledge gap on how different substrate properties have a combined effect on substrate strength. #WorldWetlandsDay Cambridge FilmWorks
