The Plymouth Nature Film Festival is returning to the city this month, exploring humans’ relationship with nature and how both are adapting in the face of global change. The festival is being held in the city’s Market Hall – in partnership with Real Ideas – on Sat 29 April.

Taking low carbon travel to the max! One of our Environmental Management lecturers Simon Dickinson is currently cycling to Sweden from Plymouth to teach on our 2nd year undergraduate field trip! Stay tuned for more photos from the field trip when it starts next week!

The Rebel Botanists were on campus today highlighting some of the wildflowers growing on campus. Keep your eyes open for their chalk writing on the ground, identifying the plant species they discovered.

Well Simon Dickinson is getting ever close to Sweden (now in Denmark and hopefully not being attacked by gulls unlike the photo suggests!). We look forward to joining him on Friday for our undergraduate field trip to Gothenburg and Store Mosse National Park.

While some of our students will be heading to Sweden for Friday, others are already well into their field trip to Greece! Here students will be learning s variety of different aspects of environmental science and management inc. freshwater ecology, forestry and wildfire impacts!

Good day - day 2 - arrived at #Sparti #Sparta from Athens. On route a fascinating stop at the Corinth canal to talk briefly about the fascinating #geology of the #Peloponnese with Environmental Science/Mngmt & Sustainability @ UoP students University of Plymouth

Day 3 - ‘into the woods’ of Kerastaris, #Peloponnese, #Greece. A pleasure to discuss #environmental change, #resilience and rural #depopulation in these #Oak #woodlands - so many issues to cover including recent forest fires, and anthropogenic #disturbance Environmental Science/Mngmt & Sustainability @ UoP University of Plymouth

Day one in Gothenberg! Field trip briefing before students set out into the city

Excellent weather for our first research project day here in Gothenberg - students are undertaking a range of projects including tree ecology and microclimate, urban and rural air quality measures, sustainable policy impacts and discussing fire impacts on heathland ecosystems!

Very excited that Professor Håkan Pleijel from Uni of Gothenburg is kindly giving our students a lecture this morning on Swedish management policies!

Huge thank you to Yvet Telgenkamp and J M Barel for discussing their research with our students today at #StoreMosse! Was great to meet you both in person and fingers crossed we can do some research collabs in the future!

Privileged to spend research days in the field (#oak #woodland) with University of Plymouth Environmental Science/Mngmt & Sustainability @ UoP #students during #Greece field course. They worked hard and were great company - I am looking forward to hearing about their results! This the final day with my two groups - #proud

Well that’s a wrap! What a fantastic week in Sweden with our 2nd year Environmental Science and Management students!

Delighted to have won both 2nd place and the audience prize in this year's 3 Minute Thesis competition! 🥳 This was my 3rd year entering it and has shown how much my presentation skills have developed & improved since I started my PhD🎓😍 #Perseverance Plymouth Geography Environmental Science/Mngmt & Sustainability @ UoP

Today I enjoyed a fascinating talk by Dr Mahasweta Saha at University of Plymouth, on the impacts of environmental change on seaweed and their microbiomes 🌊🔎🦠 Plymouth Geography Earth Sci @ Plymouth Environmental Science/Mngmt & Sustainability @ UoP Plymouth Marine Lab #Biochemistry #Marine #Seaweed #Research #STEM
