It’s nice to have additional confirmation that my PhD research investigating plant diversity and soil carbon stabilisation is indeed timely 🌿🌱🍂🌳

This Agami Heron thinks it might have spotted a nice stick for its nest.

So. Many. Sticks.

Geodiversity as a surrogate to inform freshwater fish diversity conservation & management 🐟🧪

Suggests that, to sustain fish diversity, the variability of discharge & waterbody types must be maintained & linkages among geodiversity components preserved ⛰️🌏

Changing consumer tastes and the dominance of a few big players are putting sustained pressure on the industry – especially smaller producers.

Had the fantastic opportunity to present some of my PhD research at EGU25 in Vienna. Learnt so much and met some amazing researchers!

Local food networks have an important role to play in the promised national food security strategy, which must resist the influence of corporate interests
