Clues from the ice age can help us restore streams 🐟🪨🌊 Press release from our work identifying reference states and fluvial processes in semi-alluvial rivers in northern Sweden Lina Polvi Sjöberg Umeå University Formas, ett forskningsråd för hållbar utveckling. #boulders umu.se/en/news/clues-…

What's cooler than being cool? Studying river ice and CC at Umeå University! Great place to work, great project and great supervisor!


Small boulder the size of a big boulder got us thinking.... How big is a boulder? 🪨 (and perhaps more importantly - why it matters and isn't just semantics!) Lina Polvi Sjöberg and I have a new paper out now in ESP&L: > tinyurl.com/how-big-boulder BSG Geomorphology #teamboulder





The Vindelälven catchment is one of the largest protected areas in Europe, but highly modified for timber floating We've been studying spawning gravels, combining drones and field surveys to inform a more sustainable restoration/ gravel augmentation strategy. Umeå University


Cardiff School of Earth & Environmental Sciences Will Norriss Stuart Grieve Daniel Schillereff Octria Prasojo Lucy Clarke Josh Ahmed Lucy Daniels Richard Mason wraps up this years #BSG24 with a talk full of boulders! 🪨 Rich looked at drivers of channel morphology in semi-alluvial boulders bed rivers & highlighted role of deglaciation ❄️


Wahoo!! Honoured and excited to be trusted by this special group of people and a Society that is so important to so many of us with a landform thing. With a big thank you to Heather Viles for her outstanding presidency, I’ll do my best to fill those shoes.

Fantastic BSG Geomorphology conference Loughborough University & amazing work Edwin Baynes & team! Really enjoyed presenting our work on both boulder bed rivers in Sweden and restoration of UK river-floodplain connectivity

‘The ecological equivalent of a complete reboot.’ Justin Rowlatt on BBC Radio 4 Today earlier, on National Trust project to rewiggle a river. Scientists say it’s resulted in ‘an explosion of life.’ We’ll need a lot more wiggle in our rivers for an ecological recovery.
