Thanks to all who came to our first #PeatMetal webinar & to Peter for kicking us off in style. You can find the recording here bit.ly/3VNwd15. Next up @richard_fewster with an overview of the PIPES: Pollutants In PEatlands from sink to Source 24/04/24. Sign up here peatmetal.com/workshops/ #PeatlandsMatter

The impact of climate change on weather patterns means the UK may experience more wildfires, impacting landscapes, habitats and climate goals. Find out more about wildfires, how their impacts can be mitigated, and the upcoming Wildfire Action Plan: post.parliament.uk/research-brief…

This afternoon (3pm UK time) we have our latest #PeatMetal webinar from @CSGsoil. Details and registration can be found here: tickettailor.com/events/peatmet…?

Kicking off the #PeatMetal and Restoring Industrially Impacted Peatlands International Workshops with a tour of our NOBEL - Nibi (Water) Observatory natural and unburned peatland sites. Looking forward to great discussions on peatland hydrology, metal biogeochemistry, and restoration! #PeatTwitter

Lots of peat hydrology myth busting, an 80s pop culture ref, and some Hok Woo "hydrological art" in my CGU Woo Lecture Plenary tmrw morning ! See you there! “The Ecohydrology of Fire Swamps, Wil O’ the Wisp, and Zombie Fires” #peattwitter #ecohydrology #wildfires #CGU24

A fab #CGU2024 meeting from start to end! It kicked it off with my Woo Lecture and finished with grad students @greg_verkaik and Alexandra Clark winning top hydrology paper and biogeosciences poster awards, respectively. These 6 students are spectacular researchers #PeatTwitter

We presented our #SurvivalOfTheDeepest #peatlands poster on Tuesday at CGU We are seeking input from a wider range of perspectives on ecohydrological feedback strength as a function of peatland peat depth #PeatTwitter Details and link to a survey: mcmasterecohydrology.ca/survival.html

Our final #PeatMetal webinar of the spring series is Abbey Marcotte on Wed 12 June who will be talking about post-wildfire heavy metal mobilisation in a temperate peatland. For details and to register, visit tickettailor.com/events/peatmet… #PeatTwitter #PeatlandsMatter

Very busy day getting ~35,000 kg of peatland restoration material into our metal contaminated peatland in the Laurentian University - Université Laurentienne Greenspace. We are testing 3 different treatments to figure out what works! #PeatTwitter cbc.ca/news/canada/su…
