PhD student at Hull University (she/her) 🦬🌳🦦🦫 Blue carbon storage in the Humber using rewilding and ecoengineering.
Pinned
I'm Charlie Trotman, currently studying a PhD looking into blue carbon in managed realignment sites on the Humber Estuary. I'm using a mixture of remote sensing, sediment cores, gas flux and vegetation to understand the past, present and potential future of blue carbon in Saltmarshes.

🎤 Excited to speak at #PintOfScience in Hull on May 20! I’ll be sharing how restored saltmarshes in the Humber Estuary store carbon & help tackle climate change. Come for the science, stay for the pint 🍻 👉 pintofscience.co.uk/event/carbon... #BlueCarbon #ScienceCommunication
Carbon, History, and Habitat: The Role of Saltmarshes in Climate & Maritime Archaeology

No to greenwashing, yes to real change, say Europe’s rural farmers
Europe’s young farmers take aim at big agriculture as "the real problem" when it comes to climate change.

I had a fantastic time at my first EGU and did my presentation to a room full of amazing blue carbon scientists. Going to all the other talks on all of geography was fascinating, and really made me feel like a proper biogeogapher, not just a sneaky biologist!

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Defining marine rewilding can help guide theory and practice in marine conservation - Communications Earth & Environment
The concept of rewilding, an approach to conservation aimed at the recovery of complex ecosystems, can be extended from the terrestrial to the marine realm and applied to degraded marine ecosystems.

My first Skype a scientist was last week! After struggling with teaching this was an absolute joy. A bunch of 7-year-olds convinced me anyone can find outwardly boring topics endlessly fascinating, and I'm just as disappointed as them that I don't (yet) have a pet (my favourite question) 10/10

Happy #RewildingDay!
Had the joy of celebrating with my first class in Kilkenny, Ireland, via Skype a Scientist! We explored nature bouncing back, my saltmarsh rewilding research, and (of course) debated bringing back woolly mammoths. 🦣😂
Their curiosity gives me so much optimism for the future! 💚

I think it's always more complicated than an outright ban, but Grouse shooting can be massively negative to wildlife so does need discussing and more regulation. If you agree, give the petition a sign!
