We've written a piece for @uk.theconversation.com accompanying our #PeatQuest study identifying priority questions in #peatland science, explaining how the questions aren't just technical priorities, but encompass communities, livelihoods, power and fairness. theconversation.com/peatlands-ar...

Peatlands are vital for tackling climate change, yet scientists still haven’t found them all

Peatlands are central to climate change, yet basic questions remain unanswered. A global research community has mapped out what we most urgently need to know.

Peatlands store more carbon than the world's forests yet fundamental questions remain unanswered. Today we publish 50 priority research questions, identified by 467 participants from 54 countries #PeatQuest #Peatlands www.nature.com/articles/s43...

On 8th May, our coffee morning is in collaboration with @bes-peatlandsgroup.bsky.social group! Get excited about learning how peatlands and wetlands are affected and how they can help fight climate change! When and where: 10-11 am GMT 8th May on Zoom Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

3 of our PhD researchers presenting their posters @ #BES2025 Tues 16 Dec @dylanoliver58.bsky.social Wet woodlands as biodiversity assets @stephbatten.bsky.social CH4 fluxes in a temperate wet woodland Wed 17 Dec @eduley.bsky.social Carbon and ecosystem dynamics in peat-forming wet woodlands

Looking forward to lots of #peatland and #wetland chats at #BES2025 with our thematic session and social. Come and chat to us to find out more about the group and how to get involved!

We have our Thematic Session @britishecologicalsociety.org annual meeting this week on Tuesday 16th December Past and Future Resilience of Global Wetlands 10:30-12:30 in the Sidlaw Auditorium Conveners: @nickgirkin.bsky.social @wetlandresilienceresearchgroup.com @alicemmilner.bsky.social

Come and work with the InSPIRE project on understanding how proglacial #peatlands lock away carbon as glaciers recede. Details below for this 24-month post-doc position.

Exciting 24-month Postdoc opportunity for a peatland palaeoecologist, working with Dr Jenna Sutherland at Leeds Beckett U. on the NERC-funded InSPIRE project. Investigating initiation of new peatlands in deglaciating parts of Alaska, including fieldwork vacancies.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/ce0984li_web...

Congratulations @lauraboyall.bsky.social for passing her PhD viva with (very) minor corrections! A unique integration of modern monitoring, palaeoclimate, Bayesian modelling, data model comparisons & sci-pol. Expertly examined by Prof Caitlin Buck & Prof Jonathan Holmes. @rhulgeography.bsky.social

Thanks to @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social and Environment Agency for inviting me to speak at their water research seminar series - focussing on nature-based solutions of peat-forming #wetwoodlands, including some of the evidence gaps & research happening on these ecosystems @wetwoodlands.bsky.social

Visit to Chat Moss area yesterday to plan our new long-term monitoring site with @naturalengland.bsky.social looking at tree establishment and understanding more about trees and #peat in the context of restoration. The work is part of the @wetwoodlands.bsky.social network of monitoring sites.

Fantastic day of insightful discussions and ideas on #peatland #resilience at the @bes-peatlandsgroup.bsky.social workshop yesterday. Excited to collaborate on the next steps with such a great group! @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social @britishecologicalsociety.org

Beautiful day in the field at Goss Moor discussing all things wet woodland for @eduley.bsky.social PhD! @scootjd.bsky.social @alicemmilner.bsky.social @tomroland.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social

Lovely day chatting all things #peat wet woodlands for @eduley.bsky.social PhD meeting at Goss Moor Cornwall.Fascinating site & lots of interesting research to understand more about these ecosystems! @scootjd.bsky.social @tomroland.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social @wetwoodlands.bsky.social

Thanks to @peatlandecr.bsky.social for their #PeatNeeds support to @dylanoliver58.bsky.social. It’s a great microgrant scheme for researchers on a tight budget! @wetwoodlands.bsky.social @rhulgeography.bsky.social

Peatland ECR Action Team@peatlandecr.bsky.social · last yr.

The first recipient of our March #PeatNeeds microgrants is Dylan Oliver. He is part of the wet woodlands research network (@wetwoodlands.bsky.social) where scientists and stakeholders are interested in nature-based solutions for climate change. 1/2

Join us for a workshop: #Peatland Resilience Under a Changing Climate: Place, Policy and Practice! 🗓️: May 6 2025 10:00-17:00 📍: @britishecologicalsociety.org HQ in London 💻: online attendance available More details and tickets here: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/peat... Please RT!

Does anyone else still have their lovely #PeatConf24 Sphagnum gift from @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social? I ended up with three and they’re doing surprising well with little (no) input from me! #peat

Last day of fieldwork for 2024 with download of monitoring data at the Wheatfen #peatland #wetwoodland site. We even got a bit of solstice sunshine! @wetwoodlands.bsky.social

Great to hear from @scootjd.bsky.social on his PeatPic and #PeatColours projects looking at greenness across peatlands, and how to involve the community in the research #BES2024

Great to meet lots of peat and wetland folk at the @bes-peatlandsgroup.bsky.social SIG social for #BES2024. Thanks to @scootjd.bsky.social for organising us all!

We are now on Bluesky! If you don't know us already, we are the #peatlands and #wetlands group of the @britishecolsoc.bsky.social We cover all aspects of peatland and wetland science and policy!Give us a follow and we are looking forward to interact with you all! #Peatsky

I'm heading to Liverpool today for #BES2024 as part of the Peatland and Wetland Special Interest Group team. Come and say hi to me and @scootjd.bsky.social to get involved in @bes-peatlandsgroup.bsky.social #peatlands #wetlands
