Really disappointing new policy from NERC banning resubmissions of grant applications

Many of us, including me, have won grants on resubmission,

using the reviews to improve the application

This is is neither fair nor productive

And the second on how quickly saltmarshes accumulate carbon www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This relates to two papers we've published about UK saltmarshes over the last year, the first on how much carbon is stored www.frontiersin.org/journals/mar...

Great to chat to @michaelcrossland.bsky.social at the Yorkshire Post about the vital role that saltmarshes play in storing carbon. In today's paper with comment from @proftashabarlow.bsky.social and me.
