I'm looking for a post-doc to work on the interaction between past hydrological changes and vegetation in a disturbed peatland, using paleoecological and modelling approaches. The post-doc duration is 18 months and start date is any time before Jan 2027. DM if you are interested / have questions! 🌿🧪

These are cute drosera plants. They are carnivorous and live in peatlands. The picture shows these red plants that have a rounded shape and sticky tentacles. They are about 3 cm high.

Me too. I’m not sure what those involved think we could have done differently. Thankfully, I kept emails from some students who recognised how difficult it all was & appreciated our efforts. I’m sure many colleagues will have experienced similar - those emails helped at the time & they help now too.

📰 Greek heritage sites, preserved from development and agriculture, serve as sanctuaries for endangered flora and fauna. This suggests archaeological landscapes could be pivotal for future conservation efforts. 🏺 #ArchaeologyNews via BBC Future www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

The animals saved in Greece's ancient accidental 'arks'

Shielded from development and agriculture, many archaeological sites from ancient Greece have now become inadvertent safe harbours for plants and animals.

On the ferry back to England after a successful first field trip for our APEX ‘Bog Biographies’ project. Several coring transects across Borremose completed and three nice sequences sampled for pollen, insect and radiocarbon analyses. Looking forward to getting stuck into the lab work now!

Nice article about Estonia’s bogs, which are very much on my list of places I need to visit!

Finally made the move over here after giving up with Twitter (X) quite some time ago. This is much nicer! Looking forward to sharing updates on some exciting new projects soon. For now, here’s a picture of some beautiful sundews in a bog on Arran.
