Research Fellow @SoGLeeds exploring remote sensing of northern peatlands🛰🌎 previously JNCC_UK 🌱 Geographer. Interested in Peatlands/EO/GI. AberUni alumni.
Last week @peatbloke.bsky.social, @duncanquincey.bsky.social, colleagues from Uppsala University and I re-visited Hammarmossen, this time as part of our NERC-funded Antheia project. We deployed a number of sensors and conducted UAV surveys. Looking forward to returning! @envleeds.bsky.social

Had a great day at the @envleeds.bsky.social graduation. Thanks to the support of my supervisors @peatbloke.bsky.social @geomorphmark.bsky.social and @duncanquincey.bsky.social. Excitedly I’ve already started a Research Fellow position in the school continuing my research!

I’m delighted to share that our new paper is now out in @natclimate.nature.com! Our long-term, monthly Antarctic-wide dataset of surface meltwater shows that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is becoming increasingly prone to surface meltwater ponding.
Continent-wide mapping shows increasing sensitivity of East Antarctica to meltwater ponding - Nature Climate Change
This study provides a continent-wide assessment of surface meltwater area in Antarctica between 2006 and 2021, highlighting recent increases in magnitude and variability in East Antarctica, with indic...

What are the greenhouse gas emissions savings associated with paludiculture?
As part of a DEFRA fellowship I had a go at trying to answer this question and create an emission factor for Paludiculture in the England!

What are the greenhouse gas emissions savings associated with paludiculture?
Paludiculture is a potential solution to minimising the 1.5% of total UK emissions from lowland peat.

Some boreal peatlands are losing their characteristic pools – a concern for their unique ecosystems.
Researchers in the School of Geography studied the long-term changes in the pools at Hammarmossen to understand why it's happening.

Shrinking pools on northern peatlands
Peatlands are carbon-rich wetlands that are often covered in mazy patterns of open water pools, but some boreal peatlands in Scandinavia and elsewhere are beginning to lose their characteristic pools.
