An update on our project is published on peatlandsandpeople.ie/news/epa-resea…. This project will build on the findings of our WaterPeat project. ERINN Innovation

First day on site on the EPA Research News / @BordnaMona funded WetPeat project. We will be evaluating #peatland #restoration work on 4 sites. Pictured with Trinity Civil Engineering and @GENE members.

Our final restored peatland that we’ll be evaluating as part of our @BordnaMona / EPA Research News- funded project, WetPeat, is in Clooneeny. With @GENE and Trinity Civil Engineering

Our group meeting on our #peatlands #restoration project, followed by playtime 😁. We’ll take any room the Tullamore Court Hotel gives us! (It was perfect btw.) EPA Research News @BordnaMona

Another site that we’ll be monitoring as part of the EPA Research News and @BordnaMona funded WetPeat project. Bunds have been created at Ballaghurt, which will soon be used in restoration.

Another day instrumenting two @BordnaMona sites with piezometers for our BnM/EPA Research News funded WetPeat project. We are modelling the impacts of rewetting on water flow and quality.

Collecting intact soil cores for hydraulic analysis with our ME students today. Hydraulic conductivity (saturated & unsaturated) and porosity will be measured and used in our simulations. EPA Research News

Great day sharing research updates with @BordnaMona LIFE Peatlands and People partners. Visited bog where restoration utilising replanted sphagnum is ongoing. Plus, they really do love bogs!

We installed an automatic water sampler on one of our study sites today. Many thanks to the wonderful Frank Curley of @BordnaMona who transported our equipment to site. @GENE Ryan Institute @ University of Galway

Our first article from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ireland-funded WetPeat project examines ecohydrological models in determining strategies for peatland restoration and evaluating post-intervention development over time. You can read it at: lnkd.in/eDFUFJcM

What a lovely day to be on site! Remote sensing work on the WetPeat project.

The second paper from our EPA Research News /Bord na Mona-funded study, WetPeat, examines the accuracy and robustness of water quality models for rewetted #peatlands. You can read it at universityofgalway.ie/media/gene/fil…

First day of the new year back on the rewetted peatland in Castlegar today. EPA Research News

📢 Some exciting updates from the EPA Ireland funded project @Wetpeat_nui, supporting @BordnaMona restoration across 33,000 hectares of pearlands! Researchers from the Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway & Trinity College Dublin are working hard across 5 study sites: peatlandsandpeople.ie/news/updates-f…
