As climate extremes intensify, temperate peatlands, which are key sources of drinking water, face growing threats. Our work highlights the need for long-term monitoring + targeted strategies to manage legacy pollution post-fire. 🔥💧

We found that our study site was generally resistant to immediate (acute) metal pollution after wildfire. But, months later, heavy rain can wash legacy metals trapped in the catchment into reservoirs, raising long-term (chronic) water quality risks.

Excited to share our new paper in Environmental Research: Water!

We studied how wildfires and drought mobilise legacy metal contaminants from peatlands, focusing on the 2018 Stalybridge Moor fire in the UK.

Stats Cat new and improved attitude; helping me prepare for my PhD defense 💪

Wish I was there! Do you ship those cool stickers to NL?👀😄

Spreading the Swagnum love 😍

For everyone pulling their #peatland abstracts together this week - don't forget the deadline for #EGU25 is next Wednesday 15th Jan 13:00 CET.

Check out the thread for a list of all the great #peatland sessions

Even when you feel small, you can stand tall and be resilient. Moss sporophytes eject spores into the atmosphere with one of the greatest physical forces measured in biology. We find these spores in sediments collected in the middle of the ocean. Wee but mighty.

♻️ Activity on this platform has increased a lot over the last month, so we thought we'd bring back this post about Dr Cat Moody's awesome study.

Please get in touch with Cat if you do field work and can collect some water samples for her project 💧📦

Great to see so many newcomers to the Good Place these weeks! 🤩

Please enjoy some of my favourite moss photos (mainly Sphagnum spp, of course) to brighten up your feed

Nobody can do those quite like I can 😜

I will be there in spirit 🥹

Peatland friends! We're convening our #Peatland #Hydrology session at #EGU25. There are lots of peaty sessions on the programme this year so it will be an excellent opportunity for us all to get together. You can submit your abstract here: bit.ly/4hVgSE7 #PeatlandsMatter #PeatSky #PeatECR

A non exhaustive list of peatlanders. Join if you see fit. The package contains the Peatland and Wetland list by @scootjd.bsky.social

About three weeks to our 2024 Nobel Peat Prize announcement!

Do you have a fave #peatland paper amongst our five finalists?

So a bunch of Canadian wetland hydrologists got together and wrote a state-of-the-science review and synthesis of wetland hydrology!

"Advances in wetland hydrology: the Canadian contribution over 75 years"

75 years of research summarized in about 50 pages
