Round two of RIV-ESCAPE Project Lewis fieldwork is underway! Collected our first #CO2 and #CH4 samples today 🫧 It’s great to be back on the bogs, and wouldn’t be possible without the support of Hilde Cronwright Oxford Earth Sciences 🌱 Bob Hilton Joshua Dean @[email protected] #PeatTwitter

That’s a wrap on #Lewis #peatland fieldwork for now - due to a cancelled ferry I even had time to get a mountain day in on Clisham which was a nice bonus. Aside from the ferry hiccup it’s been a good field trip 🫧 Now on to Aviemore for #PeatConf24 🌱

Had a great time at #PeatConf24 yesterday listening to a wide range of speakers on peatland science, creativity & policy. Good to meet the respective peatland action teams and engage with the wider peatland community 🌱 Amswer gwych at IUCN UK Peatlands gynhadledd fawndiroedd ‘24 ddoe!

Some tools can take measurements of carbon flux every second. In a new Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences paper, researchers describe an R package designed to help users sort through all those data. eos.org/research-spotl…

Today is #EarthDay, a global event that gives everyone a chance to focus on environmental issues and what we can do to tackle them. Learn about the vital role peatlands play in tackling the climate crisis, improving biodiversity and supporting communities t.ly/mOkSv

Is A River Alive? is published today. It’s about the lives, deaths & rights of rivers—& how our fate flows with that of water & always has. To the people & rivers whose ideas run through its pages: thank you so much. I think it might be the book I’ve been learning how to write

A positive step for #peatland #conservation in England - you can’t protect something you can’t measure 🗺️ naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2025/05/12/a-n…

Today is #WorldPeatlandsDay! 🌎 These amazingly boggy ecosystems are threatened by human pressures/climate change, but international/interdisciplinary awareness and collaboration is helping to mitigate this. Pics from RIV-ESCAPE Project fieldwork on Isle of Lewis, April 2025

No advert out yet, but I will be recruiting a 2yr postdoc, start date autumn 2025, at livunigeog soon. Lowland and upland peatlands, GHGs, DOM and water chemistry. Plenty of fieldwork. Feel free to drop me a DM or email if you might be interested, and please spread the word.

Perks of being an open day ambassador = getting to draw your PhD project out in chalk! Oxford Earth Sciences 🏔️🏞️🌊
