New paper alert! - In very nice new study led Michael Muir, we present a simple technique for citizen science (and beyond) use to quantify DOC in mugs of water with nothing but a smart phone camera! Fully open access.

New paper alert! Here we examine the geomorphic effects on carbon dynamics in a saltmarsh system, showing clear differences between eroding and prograding regions. Excellent first first-author paper by Dr. lea Stolpmann.

Rather chilly morning certainly (-12 degrees!) for a sunrise outing.... but worth it I think.

The key line from student feedback to my Oceanography course - 'His ability to match his shirts to the lectures topic was appreciated :)'...... my work is done.

New paper alert! Here we examine the drivers of methane and nitrous oxide dynamics in estuarine environments - highlighting the critical roles salinity and oxygen play and the temporal & spatial variability that results.

Finally, after years of teaching and other clashes….i can actually attend #EGU24 this year. Excited to see some great science! Anyone fancy getting a drink let me know!
