Great to get out to some local #beaver sites and see them holding water and looking green amidst the heatwave! @exeter.ac.uk

Amazing fieldwork with National Trust at Tattiscombe and river Heddon restoration in North Devon representing our WiRe (wood in river restoration) project with @alanputtock.bsky.social. The geomorphic changes by installing large wood are mesmerising. As a treat, we saw the stunning Heddon’s Mouth

A return to a peatland restoration site I used to work at yesterday. Looking forward to a new peatland PhD project looking at the role they can play in natural flood management in SW England!

#fieldwork Fridays #beaver monitoring

Wetland drone surveys across Devon and Somerset last week, showing how we can create incredible resilient landscapes delivering multiple #naturebasedsolutions

A new water themed art exhibition with a live event this weekend! @uoe-creww.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk

Flying up through the National Trust Holnicote Stage 0 river restoration site last week. Fantastic to see how much water is being held in the reconnected floodplain despite the recent drought conditions!

#beaver watching on the River Otter last night with colleagues from @uoe-creww.bsky.social will never get bored of either seeing the beavers or peoples reaction to spotting them for the first time!

Starting the week with sunny fieldwork at the @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social #beaver project! Has matured into an incredible wetland!

Post conference session explore along the Danube. #Beaver signs everywhere! #EGU25

Eurostar and Nightjet trains to Vienna for #EGU25 looking forward to presenting our @exeter.ac.uk and Devon Wildlife Trust work seeking to make space for water in our landscapes and work with beavers to deliver Nature-based Solutions. @egu.eu lnkd.in/ef2RtVJD

Beaver survey fieldwork fun

Hydrological monitoring and Beaver watching #fieldworkfun

Great to see our @exeter.ac.uk #beaver research featured on BBC Countryfile last night: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

A landmark moment for beavers in England! 🚨 To unlock their benefits, we now need widespread population expansion - it’s time to normalise this native species. We’re reviewing today’s announcement against key tests we set out in our initial response earlier today 👇 t.co/dHU4806zrM

The 3rd and final #beaver site surveyed in the River Otter catchment this week. Upstream of the village of East Budleigh, our monitoring has shown this wetland to significantly reduce downstream peak flows. @exeter.ac.uk

The 2nd #beaver site I surveyed with Devon Wildlife Trust yesterday. Here the landowner has been supported by a Farming in Protected Landscapes grant to make space for beavers and this extraordinary wetland. @exeter.ac.uk

#beaver droning with Devon Wildlife Trust today. Amazing seeing the dams and wetland spread all the way across the valley bottom now at this site #NatureBasedSolutions @exeter.ac.uk @uoe-creww.bsky.social

Two exciting peatland and upland PhD opportunities led by my excellent colleague Naomi Gatis @exeter.ac.uk @uoe-creww.bsky.social

Check out this interesting #geomorphology PhD project below! If you would like us to advertise your PhD project - tag us in your posts! 🙂

PhD on “Modelling hydro-geomorphic dynamics and nature-based solutions for flash floods in desert wadi systems”. More details here: www.exeter.ac.uk/v8media/recr...

Drone surveys of Stokeinteignhead a Natural Flood Managment site we're monitoring as part of Devon Resilience Innovation Project. Can nature-based approaches provide effective flood resilience to comunities in rapid response catchments? Monitoring and modelling results to follow! @exeter.ac.uk

Mid Storm Éowyn today fantastic to see the water being held in a #beaver wetland at one of the sites we've been monitoring since 2015 @exeter.ac.uk

Great to hide away at Dartington Hall today and get some writing done!

Two exciting EPSRC PhD opportunities in our group @uoe-creww.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk . One to develop mechanistic understanding into the hydrological impacts of beaver wetlands. Another looks into modelling nature-based solutions for flash floods in deserts. See thread for further information ⬇️
