We have found out about evolution of peat across a series of sites and understanding carbon content over time and space. Lab work still happening! This is a contribution towards the UK's land use for net zero programme of research...

No problem!

Interesting! I'll take a look at this. We do have data on species abundances and numbers from insect studies.

I know! I'm v excited about this trip also. I'm still doing lots of bog trotting in more mundane places though :)

I'm super excited about this.... I'm also going to south Africa soon as we are working on wetlands there also as part of AGRI-DRY work.

The base I think is fluvio-glacial and then there are some beach pebbles mixed in - storm cast is an interesting idea. It's the top terrace of 3 so could be v much on margins of beach or upcast as you suggest.

Yes I think so. They represent a high level stand of +31 metres at the end of last ice age but I suspect are mixed with fluvio-glacial materials also. I assume deposit is mixed and short-lived.

There are some rounded beach pebbles amongst the materials but it's classified as raised beach by bgs. It abupts glacio-fluvial deposits though so I suspect some of this is that rather than raised beach. It's at the top of a series of beach terraces but quite high at +31m.

Yes something like this.

The BGS classify it as a raised beach but we think it has fluvio-glacial materials towards base with beach deposits on top.

There are beach pebbles in between which is what has caused some confusion.... I suspect much of this is glacially derived with some beach material above. Context wise colluvium seems less likely but it's also something I'd been thinking.

Yes we wondered that. It also has beach pebbles too, so has a mixture of materials.

It was up to 38 Deg a couple of days ago but a bit cooler now
