Throwback Friday. A few more happy memories from #Confluence23 - what an amazing event! Exchanging ideas & helping to shape our future work.

Throwback Friday. Happy memories of #Confluence23 when Pippa Chapman told over 100 delegates about our £9m programme to help tackle pollution from many sources in our rivers. Alistair Boxall shared the progress by 1 of 5 projects ECOMIX University of York water.leeds.ac.uk/fwq-programme/

Congratulations Josie South @ScienceLeeds - new UKRI Future Leaders Fellow. UKRI 🐠For research on 'Upscaling invasion Impact Prediction to better conserve freshwater biodiversity'. 🌍Josie is 1 of 75 researchers to benefit from £101 million to tackle major global issues.

Our water@leeds contribution to the launch of a UN assessment of water needs for achieving global climate goals via International Universities Climate Alliance was presented at #CoP28. Peatland restoration and protection are water efficient! Great work by Dr Cat Moody youtube.com/live/oR4ZhGInf…

1/2 Come & work with us as a key member of our team. We're looking for an organised, proactive administrator to support a variety of activities & projects from mitigating flood risk & improving water quality to restoring landscapes & peatlands. Apply bit.ly/4aNp4Ty

It was great to meet so many of our early career researchers online today who are taking part in our programme to improve the quality of UK rivers. Our aim is to support them to network with peers, develop their skills & make sure that their research is noticed & has impact.

A unique chance to explore the history of the peatlands will be hosted by DurhamWildlifeTrust Saturday at Cuthbert's Moor with sound artist Tim Shaw & WaterLANDS artist Laura Harrington. Have a go at peat-coring with Dr Antony Blundell University of Leeds bit.ly/49wQECZ

The water@leeds delegation activities in Mexico city included conversations with the British Council, British Embassy and an alumni dinner. #ScienceDiplomacy

📰Climate change has influenced global river flow seasonality. Research led by Hong Wang, Megan Klaar, Joseph Holden Joseph Holden warns we must act urgently to protect river ecosystems from human induced climate change.

What we want from today is to get your input when we look for new innovative opportunities to help reduce flooding in the region so that when we have the chance to bid for funding we are ready Joseph Holden told our WYFLIP AGM.

1/2 Our WaterLANDSUK University of Leeds is running 2 workshops with Northumberland Peat Partnership for land managers to find out why uplands are so important & explore managing them. They will be on Sat 11 May & 18 May. Sign up by Wednesday bit.ly/3WOHTkT #peatlands

The protection and restoration of peatlands should be a priority action for climate change mitigation, say experts from water@leeds. Dr Cat Moody, Joseph Holden and Andy Baird wrote about peatlands in the UN-Water Report: Water for Climate Mitigation. 👇 environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article/5…

🔊Job opportunity - Are you a graduate interested in a career in peatland restoration with a focus on the use of green finance? Funded by waterlands the role is with the #GreatNorthBog team at North Pennines National Landscape Office & can be hybrid bit.ly/3LYOGBv

Great to see our new open access paper out in Water Resources Research on how peatland restoration can reduce flood peaks arriving at towns downstream: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… water@leeds

First results paper is out from Josiah Judson’s PhD showing impacts of temperate agroforestry species on soil topsoil and subsoil carbon and nutrients. Free access here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Pippa Chapman River Basins - Leeds Marcelo Galdos

water@leeds is excited to be part of the Natural Environment Research Council UNRISK: Understanding Uncertainty to Reduce Climate Risks project team!

Our new paper out in Nature Communications led by Dafydd Elias sheds new light on how plant litter and soil minerals interact to develop mineral-associated soil organic carbon => crucial for long-term soil carbon stores nature.com/articles/s4146…

Funded PhD scholarship available on peatland hydrology and carbon cycling. It will examine the impacts of windfarm disturbance and restoration techniques. Supervised by Dr Cat Moody Nicholle Bell and I. Deadline = 8 January 2025 yes-dtn.ac.uk/research/the-i…

Our new paper in One Earth shows the importance of feedbacks from northern peatlands if we keep warming the planet beyond 1.5°C cell.com/one-earth/full…
