Had an amazing time at the @ukhsa.bsky.social air quality research review meeting in Newcastle today! It was fascinating to learn more about air quality impacts on human health. I enjoyed discussing my poster, investigating interactions between net-zero aligned afforestation and air quality. 🌳☁️🌍

We've written a blog about our new paper! 🔎If you want to find out about net-zero aligned afforestation in the UK and how this might impact future biogenic emissions in a warmer climate, check out the summary blog @leedsleaf.bsky.social🌳☁️🌍

Increasing woodland cover to 19% to help reach net-zero could change the biogenic emissions from UK woodlands. @treeswithhazel.bsky.social’s latest research shows the potential scale of change by 2050 associated with different tree species mixes.

I’m really excited to say the first paper of my PhD has been published in Biogeociences today! The paper examines the impact of net-zero aligned afforestation in the UK on biogenic emissions. 🌳 bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/...

Future forests: estimating biogenic emissions from net-zero aligned afforestation pathways in the UK

Abstract. Woodlands sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which could help mitigate climate change. As part of efforts to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050, the UK's Cli...

I’ve had a blast at my first @big-stem-network.bsky.social meeting at the RI. Learning from a host of amazing people who dedicate their life to sharing the joy of science and make it as accessible as possible. From games and demos, to science TV shows and animal displays. #sciencecomms #naturecomms

Final day of #EGU25 tomorrow! I’ve really enjoyed my first EGU - hearing lots of #atmosphericscience and #biogeoscience talks (and giving my own!), as well as science to policy and science communication workshops too! Plus the #urbantrees in Vienna are great 🌳

I’m at #EGU25. Come along to my talk on Wednesday in Biogeosciences session BG3.2 land use and land cover change to hear about afforestation in the UK and future emissions of BVOCs 🌳 More info here meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/EGU25-...

Tree friends 🌳 Near us is a bank of #LondonPlane trees, surrounded by what is essentially a ball pit of their leaves which seem to always be there(!). It makes me so happy. But today on my walk through those leaves, I noticed this zesty green #Lichen! Anybody know what type of lichen it is?

More tree guard replacement today with the Biosphere Atmosphere Group at #GairWood!

Hello Bluesky! I've finally joined. Hopefully I can find the excellent tree community I once enjoyed on that other platform(!). I am a PhD researcher at the University of Leeds, investigating the interactions between trees and the atmosphere (1/4)
