It was great to visit Ennerdale for some surveys as part of the CASTOR Treescapes project last week. Such a lovely river! I wish there were more like it in England

Beyond pleased to share that our paper on how seasonal floods affect maternal health access on the Barotse Floodplain has now been published and is completely open access! This work was completed for my masters, and is my first first-author paper! ij-healthgeographics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Family trip to Harewood House yesterday was surprising to say the least. Hats off to the volunteer who tried to point out the drapes to a Stormtrooper only to be met with heavy breathing through a mask.

Great turnout for the River Basins - Leeds Geography at Leeds cluster night out. I can't quite remember the final scores, but I'm pretty certain I won. Thanks for organising Dr Chris Stringer 🏔️

Pleased to announce our new #PeatPaper ⬇️ Six Decades of Changes in Pool Characteristics on a Concentric-Patterned Raised Bog (Colson et al., 2023) link.springer.com/article/10.100… Many thanks to my co-authors Paul J. Morris Mark Smith Duncan Quincey Håkan Rydin and Gustaf Granath

Our recent study in Ecosystems by PhD student Daniel Colson, examining rapidly shrinking pool area on a patterned boreal peatland, has been summarised on the Faculty of Environment - University of Leeds news feed environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article/5… Mark Smith Gustaf Granath Duncan Quincey Geography at Leeds River Basins - Leeds

Some boreal peatlands are losing their characteristic pools – a concern for their unique ecosystems. River Basins - Leeds and Uppsala universitet researchers studied the long-term changes of the pools at Hammarmossen to understand why it's happening.

Greenland is greening! It's great to see this research published in Scientific Reports by Michael Grimes and Jonathan Carrivick. It brings back great fieldwork memories! nature.com/articles/s4159… Geography at Leeds

A recently published paper (doi.org/10.1038/s41598…) is getting some traction: we mapped vegetation changes as a result of ice loss on the Greenland Ice Sheet. I did the change analysis using GW binomial regression. theguardian.com/world/2024/feb… #rstats #rspatial

How will changing patterns of malaria transmission interact with demographic change? Check out our new paper published in Science Magazine! Led by Mark Smith et al. Geography at Leeds science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

How will climate change affect malaria? Groundbreaking new research by Dr Mark Smith highlights role of hydrology in a joint study with University of Lincoln, UK tinyurl.com/5n8nhmvt

Climate models predict larger than expected decline in African malaria transmission areas, according to new research in Science. The study's approach offers a more nuanced view that could inform #malaria control efforts in a warming world. scim.ag/6Yn

"Revolutionary model predicts malaria trends in Africa": Mark Smith's study, which used multiple models to understand and predict environmental malaria risk in Africa, was reported on by Earth.com. Read more: earth.com/news/revolutio…

Ahead of #AfricaDay, we highlight recent research projects in which our researchers have collaborated with African communities, scholars and practitioners to address local and global challenges: environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article/5…
