Welcoming Crystal Ahiable to the Wet Woodlands Research Network network and RHULGeography as a new #peatland PhD researcher. First supervision meeting with Andy Baird @emilyrlines Mark Lee discussing exciting #peat research plans for next 3+ years! #PeatTwitter
Thermals on, wellies & tool kit packed. Hot flask at the ready. It can only be one thing: fieldwork with the Wet Woodlands Research Network team at Wheatfen Nature Reserve this week for Crystal Ahiable and Adam Noach PhD research with @emilyrlines Mark Lee @WoodlandTrust
It was drone day today at Wheatfen Nature Reserve getting important LiDAR data of the #wetwoodland. And an almost all-female team, with @emilyrlines leading us, which was fitting for #InternationalWomensDay!
Thanks to @WoodlandTrust for highlighting and supporting our #wetwoodlands research for #BSW23. Once we’ve dried out, we’ll be planning our next trip to collect more data on these fascinating ecosystems! Wheatfen Nature Reserve Wet Woodlands Research Network
Senior lecturer Alice Milner from RHULGeography has been collaborating with the @WoodlandTrust on a wet woodland conservation project alongside PhD student Crystal Ahiable find out more through the thread ⬇️#BritishScienceWeek
Lovely day today Wheatfen Nature Reserve with Crystal Ahiable and Alice Milner installing minirhizotron tubes for measuring belowground root production. #peatland #carbon
We’re at Wheatfen Nature Reserve taking #peat cores to understand what’s beneath the #wetwoodlands. Good mood all round after a challenging but successful coring session! The cores will be analysed in RHULGeography labs by UG student Anna & Crystal Ahiable over the coming months.
Did someone say pioneer👂🏾? Yes, that’s right. For the first time ever in the UK, I’m monitoring fine root production Wheatfen Nature Reserve Wet Woodlands Research Network using the minirhizotron technique, first adapted for mangroves in Vietnam and then in CongoPeat. Keen to see what insights the data gives.
