I'm thrilled to see this paper out, which I co-led with @DitchOntologist, and featuring input from loads of excellent co-authors. It's our interdisciplinary perspective on ditches; what they do, why they matter, and how we should look after them. https://t.co/eKzTKzUwT6

Global warming means we are accelerating towards tipping points that will trigger irreversible environmental changes, according to a new report launched at #COP28 today UKCEH scientists contributed to a chapter assessing large-scale changes in lakes. ๐Ÿ”— https://t.co/YAA9ruMgLM

Our legacy of resource extraction has a substantial legacy - here we report on the direct impacts of coal mining lecacy in the Scottish central belt on riverine greenhouse gas concentrations with @ames_e_p @DrJohnMacUoG and led by Dr Alison Brown. https://t.co/pwvXNnaC84

Timely new paper from @UKCEHPapers+ others, considering it's #Power2Peatlandsweek. Shows large uncertainty about how and if peat catchment management will alter DOM quality + quantity. A brief thread. 1/6 https://t.co/Q0yUUXiRKk #PeatTwitter
