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

🚨Fully funded PhD opportunity!🚨 Join CREWW, the University of Exeter’s world-leading research group tackling water & environmental challenges. This PhD, funded by South West Water & the Environment Agency, will explore upland valley mire restoration & its role in climate resilience. Please share!

There is still time to apply for a PhD on flash flooding and geomorphic changes in desert wadi systems! The PhD, through hydraulic and sediment modelling, will investigate these impulsive events, and also how nature-based solutions can be used to mitigate their effects. Apply at tinyurl.com/328mctvt

A fantastic opportunity to join us at @uoe-creww.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk with two exciting PhD positions!

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 ⬇️

🎉 Happy 2025! 🎉 New year, a new you? There's still time to apply for a PhD with myself and @dpanici.bsky.social on 'Large Wood in Rivers: Blending social knowledge with large wood dynamics in river restoration practice'. Based at @uoe-creww.bsky.social Details: www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...

Had a nice Christmas Eve walk in Monmouth today with family, and couldn’t help notice how large wood accumulated at the Monnow Bridge - just like I observed them in flume experiments! It always amazes me. Also did you know is the only remaining bridge in Britain with a gate tower on the bridge?

It’s been a honour today to attend a graduation ceremony @universityofexeter.bsky.social, for the first time on this side of the stage! So pleased to have seen our #GIS MSc students graduating - such a fantastic group of the highest academic standard. Looking forward to teach this year’s cohort!

On the train to Liverpool for #BES24 with @uoe-creww.bsky.social colleagues! I'll be presenting Friday on the social feasibility of #wildcat #reintroduction in the south west - see you there? #consocsci #envsocsci #BES2024 @britishecolsoc.bsky.social

I recently completed my Academic Professional Programme at @uniofexeter.bsky.social and received the Fellowship status with the (former) Higher Education Academy. I really enjoyed improving my teaching to make it as inclusive and engaging as possible. Looking forward to more challenges. Ad maiora!

Just got this Government Alert on my phone (twice), yet the MetOffice warning is Amber and not Red, this can be rather confusing to people and maybe risks getting the opposite effect?

Today I really enjoyed my first ‘speed networking’ session as dissertation advisor for BSc students. Great to see a lot of interest for water quality issues and solutions in our rivers. Do you have any riverine water quality dissertations projects that students have been/are working on?

I have the privilege of working with @austerroger.bsky.social who will lead this #PhD on identifying social barriers and enablers to the use of Large Wood as a Nature-based Solution. If you are interested or you know someone who would, please share it widely! www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...

Applications are OPEN for a funded #PhD with me, @dpanici.bsky.social and @uoe-creww.bsky.social NERC GW4+ 'Large Wood in Rivers: Blending social knowledge with large wood dynamics in #river #restoration' Details and how to apply: www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin... @uniofexeter.bsky.social

The Bluesky page for @uoe-creww.bsky.social is currently live! We look forward to share novel research and advances in water, the environment, and eco-hydrological resilience from the people in our centre based at @uniofexeter.bsky.social. Watch this space!

We have so many #PhD positions available now, have a look at @alanputtock.bsky.social’s post below and share widely! There’s one for all #water ‘flavours’

Alan Puttock@alanputtock.bsky.social · 2y ago

PhDs galore! We currently have a suite of prospective Environmental Science PhD projects that would be supervised by academics in the Centre for Resilience in Environment, Water and Waste (CREWW) at the University of Exeter. Please see thread below for full details and how to apply.

A bit of a personal note here: took this photo in 2021 while staying at the neonatal unit in Exeter, with our child born 5 weeks early. We were lucky enough to leave the hospital a few days later after a five-week stay. Happy World Prematurity Day!

Fieldwork Fridays: hydrology, autumn colours, wood in rivers restoration and a new feathered fieldwork assistant, what’s not to like! @dpanici.bsky.social

I had the real pleasure to talk to the British Society of Geomorphology today on my work on large wood in rivers, from hazard to resource. It was great to see so much interest in the topic and to talk to colleagues in the field. A recording will be available soon and I’ll make sure to share it 😊

Amazing to finally interact with so many lovely people! And on that note, we have a PhD available on water quality impacts with large wood in river restoration at the @uniofexeter.bsky.social in CREWW. There’s a form to fill but please do contact me directly! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Had a lovely afternoon walk along the Granite Way in Dartmoor and around Meldon Reservoir. Amazing golden light and glorious weather. Always feels lucky to be able to visit our water resources at our doorstep

National Trust (UK) experimented this beautiful Stage-0 river restoration in Holnicote Estate: a thriving wetland with blooming wildlife. Thrilled to work on this project through our upcoming research on large wood in rivers, and incorporating it into our MSc GIS teaching @uniofexeter.bsky.social
