And we are headed to Abisko! Excited to be going back up and catching up with people from last year. Also very excited to meet all those new!

I’ll be giving a Tundra talk on the 17th June at ANS and an outreach talk on the 21st at Naturum Abisko!

Excited to be all confirmed for the 2025 SAFE field season!

We will be spending 6 weeks out and about across the Fennoscandia Arctic treeline looking at all things trees and shrubs 🌲🌳🛰️📏

Our team of three will be going out to Abisko, Sweden first and then departing for Norway and Finland!

Finally recovered from a full on 3 days of all things arctic vegetation science at the CAVSI workshop!

Great to meet loads of other ECR’s working on similar things and looking forward to the next steps

We started fieldwork last summer in Abisko, Sweden where we sampled an elevational gradient from the forest edge but missed out on getting to the treeline edge!

Throwback to spending 3 weeks sampling around Kevo, Finland as part of my 1st field season for SAFE which was very kindly funded by INTERACT TA and helped by the lovely @thale.bsky.social

Also learnt that 30’C was possible at 70N! 😱😱
