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!

It was a huge privilege being awarded my kings scout award at fire and ice this year, surrounded by all the people that helped make it happen! Couldn’t have been better, so huge thanks to the people that planned it 🎆🎇🔥❄️

I did my first presentation of the working version of my first chapter to the Humber Studies Network yesterday! Excited to hear some opinions on historical work I've done from actual historians, it was great to hear their positivity!

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.
