Everyone who has been to the poorer parts of Asia, Latin America or Africa knows how important international partners are for their people’s climate awareness fight, let alone how far a pound down there would go in supporting any adaptation project. Sigh.

Another warm day for GHG work and water sampling on the Migneint blanket bog - measuring the effects of rewetting/restoration with @laurabaugh94.bsky.social & @peatblogger.bsky.social. On the drive back saw my book in the wild for the first time at Rhug Farm.

“In other words, unwritten science is not just incomplete; it simply does not exist for the purposes of the field. When you look at it this way, the job of a scientist - having ideas, testing them, and persuading others they are right - turns out to be, fundamentally, an act of writing.”

Quick question for the peat/biogeochemistry/ecology community- has anyone had any experience using ready-made nylon mesh bags (like those for herbal tea or spices) for decomposition experiments, and is there a product you can recommend?

Measuring terrestrial and ditch GHG fluxes from peatland sites in Telacogon today. Started off drizzly, but quickly improved

A drainage ditch runs central through two rice paddy fields, overlain by a blue sky. A guava tree grows defiantly in the center of the ditch. Just beyond, two colleagues measure greenhouse gas fluxes from the young rice growing in the left field.

Feeling very privileged to be doing fieldwork in Mindanao, Philippines- again! One of the most beautiful locations in the world in my opinion. We are measuring GHG flutes and concentrations from soils and drainage canals in peatlands under various management regimes.
