Fieldwork Friday!

Another positive few days in the field working on some of our Flux Towers out on the salt marsh for @ukceh.bsky.social

Definitely a change in habitat from peat bogs to salt marsh! One of the big positives of the job that I get to see all these fantastic habitats

Friday Fieldwork!

Back out on the bogs again this week, however this time it's for a different piece of work for @ukceh.bsky.social!

This time was going out to change over monitoring cameras - some work I'm looking forward to start helping with :)

Last Friday's Fieldwork!

First fieldwork of 2025 on the South Cumbrian peatlands!

Interesting to see Hannah's moth recording; atmospheric chemistry; and water table work - plus how we can use the data for long term environmental management

IALE conference in Edinburgh!

A great week in Edinburgh for @landscapeecologyuk.bsky.social conference representing @ukceh.bsky.social; showing our poster on using Sentinel 1 data to predict water table depth on lowland peatlands

Thank you @natreswales.bsky.social for your help with the project!

Ready for the International Association of Landscape Ecology Conference!

Presenting on our Remote Sensing for Water Table Depth monitoring 😊

The Countryside Surveys were early initiatives to monitor environmental change, connecting with the theme of our conference this year, "Monitoring Ecosystem Recovery at the Landscape Scale"

New paper alert! Read about the process undertaken to safe-guard valuable data from the British Countryside Surveys, established by our late co-founder, Professor Robert (Bob) Bunce, in the 1970s, and complementary surveys in 1969 and the 1990s. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Check out the great work by @fionaseaton.bsky.social :D

Episode 4 is out now featuring Lauren Dueñas - an Archer and former Archery Club coach at the University of Florida.

Lauren shares challenges of being a Student Archer: managing expectations, time management, and how parents can support their Archer when far apart.

Outside work I'm out and about for archery and open water swimming!

Currently in a year of sporting events (Sept 2024 - Sept 2025), including representing Cumbria at Archery GB's National County Team Champs (Sept 2024); Kings of Archery in Eindhoven (Nov 2024); and Chillswim Coniston (June 2025)

First post with what I do for a living!

@ukceh.bsky.social Land Cover Maps go back to 1990; telling us what’s on the ground for all of GB and Northern Ireland!
