Great to be the first @NewGeographyUCC feature from the department mapping our research to the #SDGs (and no I’m actually not managing the account!!). Exploring our work led by Luke Lambert as well as our Cork Nature Watch project on biodiversity in the city

Not the worst office in the world 🌅 #fieldwork ECHOES project

Spring is in the air and some of the Curlew are already thinking of heading back north to their breeding grounds. The ECHOES team is busy this month collecting as much tracking data as they can before our tagged birds start thinking about leaving our estuaries. #EUIrelandWales

The MaREI, Sustainability Institute & @NewGeographyUCC team in action in Aberystwyth for the ECHOES project consortium meeting before our end of project event tomorrow #ECHOESLive
