Hydrology Paper of the Day @tksilver.bsky.social @peatymike.bsky.social on how peatland water chemisty is affected by water table level: water samples from sites in England and Wales; greenhouse gas emissions; landscape-scale processes; DOC, N, and P; and why rewetting does not have negative impacts

I’m excited to share our @globalchangebio.bsky.social article about water quality in UK lowland peatlands! dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Last call on this peaty special issue hosted by Sarah Cook, @tksilver.bsky.social and me. Ignore the below - deadline is 21 Aug.

Peaty people: we're hosting a special issue in the Taylor & Francis journal Sustainable Environment. Do consider submitting to it - the scope is broad and multidisciplinary. think.taylorandfrancis.com/article_coll...

And a 2nd paper, also led by @tksilver.bsky.social, published today in @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social, where we analysed lowland peat cores for chemistry via XRF. Heavy metals in sites near industrial centres, and more P in cores from agricultural sites. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Pollution Legacy and Land Use Influence Peat Chemistry in Temperate Lowland Peatlands

Drained grassland sites had lower organic matter content compared to semi-natural sites Peatland cores near historic industrial centers had metal enrichment Agricultural land use was also linked...

Check out our new paper on how land use affects water quality in lowland peatlands. Here, we go beyond C, N and P - we measured all sorts of anions and cations and heavy metals.

Land‐Use Effects on Surface Water Quality in Temperate Lowland Peatlands

We examined the effects of land use on UK lowland peat surface water chemistry, finding similar macronutrient stoichiometry at conservation-managed and rewetted sites (indicative of nitrogen and phos...

What an awesome week at #ASLOSIL26 in Montréal (re)connecting with folks and getting inspired by all the science! 💧

Who else is getting excited about #ASLOSIL26 ?! 🥳 I’ll be talking about mountain stream GHG emissions Wed at 5pm in SS076

Reminder that this special issue on peatlands is still open for submissions until end of July. Hosted by Sarah Cook, @tksilver.bsky.social and me. All submissions welcome, but drop me a DM or email if any questions.

Happy #EarthDay 🌍 with some of my favourite shots so far. From the ocean to the mountains, from big to small. Beautiful British Columbia indeed! #nature #photgraphy #film

Super impressed with the calibre of research posters and presentations at the @sfu.ca Undergraduate Research Symposium! It made judging very difficult 😅

How many times a day is it acceptable to check in on a manuscript to see if it has made it past the editor and gone to review? Asking for a friend. 👀

Awesome opportunity for postdocs to apply for funding to be the lead PI on a small research project grant! 🌱

Our new ditch GHG paper now online in final view. A great team effort led by @tksilver.bsky.social with contributions from an all-star cast of supporting authors. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

📣New PhD studentship 📣 We're advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the 'Cultural ecosystem services of dry riverbeds in rural landscapes'. To view the project, please see www.keele.ac.uk/surf/current... Deadline is the 23rd March 2026. Open to UK and international students.

Very excited that this paper has now been accepted! It was great to collaborate with this bunch of bright and thoughtful scientists. I think we managed to fit a lot of ideas about ditch GHG accounting and mitigation in a short perspective! 🤗 Stoked to share it soon!

Teresa Silverthorn@tksilver.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Just submitted our collaborative perspective piece! 🎉 It‘s all about improving accounting and mitigation of GHG emissions from ditches—sparked by the great presentations and discussions at our ditch symposium! 📈🧪👩‍🔬🌍

Putting greenhouse gas emissions numbers into context can be hard. The numbers are large, unfamiliar, and not intuitive. That's why Project Drawdown and a team at the University of San Francisco collaborated to create a new web tool -- Carbon in Context. www.carbonincontext.com
