Friday fieldwork A sunny start to the week at Moor House for maintaining two of our @ukceh.bsky.social Peat Cameras. It's my first visit in the 10 years I've been at UKCEH; and well worth the wait! There's something special about seeing first hand a site I've heard fondly mentioned by my colleagues
Heathland Friday fieldwork! A trip to the lowland heaths of Cheshire last week, collecting more soil samples for @ukceh.bsky.social It'll be interesting to see what these samples show about how different habitats recover from excess Nitrogen deposition #fieldwork #heathlands #cheshire
Friday fieldwork from last week for @ukceh.bsky.social Whilst dodging the grim weather sample collecting, there were some nice breaks in the weather for some amazing scenery! Following on from Sand Dune sampling in January, it was onto moorland sampling this week
First batch of fieldwork for 2026! Revisiting coastal sand dunes for @ukceh.bsky.social change monitoring, and nice to learn about a new science issue; collecting samples to examine the effects of Nitrogen deposition on dune biology #fieldwork #fridayfieldwork #sanddunes #ukceh
Fieldwork Friday! Another positive few days in the field working on some of our Flux Towers out on the salt marsh for @ukceh.bsky.social Definitely a change in habitat from peat bogs to salt marsh! One of the big positives of the job that I get to see all these fantastic habitats
Friday Fieldwork! Back out on the bogs again this week, however this time it's for a different piece of work for @ukceh.bsky.social! This time was going out to change over monitoring cameras - some work I'm looking forward to start helping with :)
Last Friday's Fieldwork! First fieldwork of 2025 on the South Cumbrian peatlands! Interesting to see Hannah's moth recording; atmospheric chemistry; and water table work - plus how we can use the data for long term environmental management #fieldwork #scicomm #bogs #cumbria @ukceh.bsky.social
NEW! The latest UKCEH Land Cover Map, describing the UK land surface in 2024, is now available 🏞️ 🌳 See what broad habitats—ranging from broadleaved woodland and arable land to freshwater and urban areas— there are and where in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. #LandCover #LCM 🧵🧪 1/
UKCEH Land Cover Map 2024 is available in a variety of resolutions and formats. The raster (pixel) versions of the Land Cover Maps are available free for academic and other non-commercial use. Explore the map and download: catalogue.ceh.ac.uk/documents/5a... #LandCover #LCM 3/3
📊 ✨ We're delighted to introduce a new feature this year - a UK Land Cover Statistics data set providing country, county and (for England) regional level land cover statistics. Read more: www.ceh.ac.uk/news-and-med... 2/
Explore how land cover varies between different parts of the UK
An exciting new addition to the UKCEH Land Cover Map means people can easily see how the makeup of our landscape varies between counties and nations of the UK.

Land Cover Map 2024 is available now! The latest in the series of @ukceh.bsky.social Land Cover Maps in raster and vector formats across spatial resolutions! This adds another year to our well established time series! Land Cover Map 2024 is available through @eidcdata.bsky.social
IALE conference in Edinburgh! A great week in Edinburgh for @landscapeecologyuk.bsky.social conference representing @ukceh.bsky.social; showing our poster on using Sentinel 1 data to predict water table depth on lowland peatlands Thank you @natreswales.bsky.social for your help with the project!
Ready for the International Association of Landscape Ecology Conference! Presenting on our Remote Sensing for Water Table Depth monitoring 😊 @ukceh.bsky.social @landscapeecologyuk.bsky.social #remotesensing #landscapeecology

New paper alert! Read about the process undertaken to safe-guard valuable data from the British Countryside Surveys, established by our late co-founder, Professor Robert (Bob) Bunce, in the 1970s, and complementary surveys in 1969 and the 1990s. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Episode 4 is out now featuring Lauren Dueñas - an Archer and former Archery Club coach at the University of Florida. Lauren shares challenges of being a Student Archer: managing expectations, time management, and how parents can support their Archer when far apart. www.archeryparentpodcast.ca
Outside work I'm out and about for archery and open water swimming! Currently in a year of sporting events (Sept 2024 - Sept 2025), including representing Cumbria at Archery GB's National County Team Champs (Sept 2024); Kings of Archery in Eindhoven (Nov 2024); and Chillswim Coniston (June 2025)
First post with what I do for a living! @ukceh.bsky.social Land Cover Maps go back to 1990; telling us what’s on the ground for all of GB and Northern Ireland! Check our paper (link below) for production and validation methods; and future improvements essd.copernicus.org/articles/15/...
