John Raven was a great inspiration to me as a budding scientist, proud to have met him in person!
A curious, modest man with an encyclopaedic knowledge. No ego but a quiet self-confidence that inspired many. No doubt many publications in the coming years will report innovative ideas that he thought of decades ago….

Regulators of aerobic and anaerobic methane oxidation in two pristine temperate peatland types
Abstract. Despite covering less than 5% of Earth's terrestrial area, peatlands are crucial for global carbon storage and are hot spots of methane cycling.
