Christmas is over. Time to panic submit your EGU abstract! Why not send it to our session on aquatic ecosystems and greenhouse gases?

Our session on aquatic ecosystems and greenhouse gases will be running again at #EGU26. Why not get ahead of the post-Christmas last-minute rush and submit an abstract unfashionably early?

🚨New paper!🚨 Models predict trees like beech will migrate north as climate warms, but rarely consider tree reproduction. Jessie shows these “refuges” are exactly where climate warming will disrupt seed production the most. They may not be such great climate refuges after all. doi.org/10.1111/ele....

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...

🚨Job opportunity🚨 We are hiring a 3yr research technician. If you love fieldwork, are passionate about forests & mountains, and want to up-skill in remote sensing, sensor networks and running field experiments this could be the dream job for you! 🧪🌳⛰️🛰️🌡️🍄 www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...

If you take the time to read the whole Gates memo (which I did), the bulk of the content was mostly solid and encouraging. Really! It was the FRAME that was off--very off, from the first line. And when your framing is off, then how you make decisions and set priorities is off. THAT'S the problem.

It’s a real honour to be awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize in Geography - looking forward to doing some more cool science with the help of this award! A big shout out to all my collaborators and mentors who have supported me along the way
