At this week's Integrated Science Synthesis Symposium Henry Gage presented his research on how surface complexity and the presence of #beaver dams affect #wetland #wildfire severity. Check out his graphical abstract! #InternationalBeaverDay #PeatTwitter #Wundergrad

We recently visited National Library of Ireland to view the large coloured manuscript maps prepared for the Bog Commissioners. A beautiful example of geography and art intertwined.

Great day out in the field Abbeyleix Bog last week. Thanks to Chris Uys for being our guide. Great to see to many people out exploring its paths and fascinating to hear about and see the impact of their conservation works.

What a difference 4 weeks make: Rehabilitation works on cutaway areas started the first week of October and finished just in time to capture the recent rains #GenerationRestoration Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage @npwsBioData Eurosite - the European Land Conservation Network WaterLANDS Care-Peat Dianna Kopansky Community Wetlands Forum

Collecting soil reference points in Curtlestown Forest... and coming across the famous bodhisattva of the Wicklow Mountains. Big day !

Still collecting ground truth data to verify the presence of peat, this time in the Slieve Bloom and Silvermine Mountains and with the valued help of TCD research assistants. Terry R Morley Mapalljohn @KBruisch Trinity Geography EPA Ireland

Great landscapes, amazing views, beautiful and sometimes very curious biota...Many thanks to whoever decided to put peat to survey in the Dingle Peninsula ! Mapalljohn RePEAT Project Terry R Morley @KBruisch

An absolute gem of a video!!! To see the recognition of the many values of the bog for the local community not only lifts the spirits but also encourages those of us working on peatland conservation & restoration to keep moving forward! Community Wetlands Forum youtu.be/7VnbP-Ymrdw?si…

The changing landscape of midlands.. Substantial changes to exposed peat on BnM land over the past decade. This trend will continue. The baseline datasets and methods we developed in our recent research will be important to monitor and track these changes

Many thanks to the National Library of Ireland for hosting and collaborating on the RePEAT exhibition. An excellent evening which also included a presentation on the NLI's substantial digitization work and a talk by EPA /NLI photographer-in-residence Paula T Nolan. Many thks to the audience too!
