Delighted to share that our research paper on automated mapping of artificial drains in Irish raised bogs using deep learning methods has been published today in @RSECJournal @kevinmcguinness @insight_centre @mapalljohn @TCD_NatSci @TCD_Geography https://t.co/kFjdc5xpaT

And just like the good old Dublin Bus, you wait ages for one, and then two come along at the same time! Two of the papers I contributed to over the past year were published this week: 1. https://t.co/hGpcN6Z1Pb 2. https://t.co/35oUbV82yu @TCD_NatSci

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

Excited to be attending ESA Living Planet Symposium #LPS2025 next week in Vienna to share some of the results from our @EPAResearchNews funded @ICONEEx_IRL project. Grateful to @TCDTrust for the travel support, it was made possible thanks to the Trinity Affinity Credit Card.

Join us at Trinity College Dublin! The ECO-WADE project is looking for postdoctoral researcher to work with @wahajhb and I on mapping peatlands at European scale https://t.co/PfD8fhhEAl

How does degradation alter the spatial variability of peat properties? Is it linked with ecosystem homogenisation? Check out our new paper "Flatlining fens?..." #PeatTwitter https://t.co/BQxU7UMevc

Land use change requires longterm supports for farmers. This article suggests that Irish authorities are considering offering farmers a lump sum & supports over 15yr cycles to manage water tables for carbon i.e. "rewetting." This would be a breakthrough https://t.co/5abtBkXKtI

Every year since 2019, the Embassy along with @MarineInst have supported the attendance of an Emerging Leader @arcticfrontiers - read the report for 2025 from Dr Wahaj Habib on our website now: https://t.co/XHSxaJwqi5 @NARI_Arctic @Polar_Research

Modeling is great...but still quite inaccurate, particularly at smaller scale, ie <1 hectare, which is the scale many important habitats exist these days. This long-established sessile oak woods is noted as scrub, and the birch woods across the valley isn't picked up at all.

Interested in rescue of historical river flow records? Join us for the @IAHS_AISH 𝗥𝗘𝗛𝗬𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘 workshop this 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟰 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟰:𝟬𝟬 𝗖𝗘𝗧. I'll be presenting insights from our hydrometric data rescue project in Ireland: https://t.co/CMu5KqUhuH

Great to present our research using Google #EarthEngine, at the GeoforGood Summit in Dublin this morning. @wahajhb @googleearth @rebeccatmoore @tcddublin @TCD_Geography @TCD_NatSci @SmartBog_IRL @EPAResearchNews https://t.co/5pulZkfG6R

Delighted to see @charmcharmcruz's final Paper from her PhD published. @TCD_Geography @TCD_NatSci @BECecology @oconnelljerome1 @ProvEye @insight_centre https://t.co/AUnfjfIf28

Watch the launch of @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2C on #VV24, the last Vega flight from Europe’s Spaceport, live on #ESAwebTV on 4 September from 02:30 BST/03:30 CEST (liftoff scheduled at 02:50 BST/03:50 CEST). 📺 https://t.co/PcAhyhOUPe https://t.co/RZl3Y9ysKH

Some more sites in the midlands

Nifty Sentinel-1 explorer by @Esri possibly revealing some rewetting/restoration activities carried out by @BordnaMona (between 2020 and 2024) on former industrial peat extraction sites in the Irish midlands. @John_M_Nelson @mapalljohn @seewilkie @gloverstweets

PI's in Ecology/Evolution/Marine Bio recruiting grad students for Fall 2025 - this is your reminder to advertise broadly! Enter your position info here: https://t.co/Fn1LRAA5Ip… Prospective students (and PIs not recruiting) - share the composite list:

New research on midlands raised bogs finds: 2,460 ha of cutaway bog are in SACs (protected areas). Peat extraction (cutaways & cutovers) in the midlands cover 119,000 ha, 70% higher than what is being reported for ALL peatlands in 🇮🇪 https://t.co/lOKJWtmX3A

New research reveals that Irish peat soils cover 13% more area than previously thought, playing a key role in GHG absorption & environmental sustainability! Read more about this groundbreaking study by @tcddublin, @uniofgalway, and @QUBelfast. 🔗 https://t.co/ptMz5KlKdd

Our first article from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ireland-funded WetPeat project examines ecohydrological models in determining strategies for peatland restoration and evaluating post-intervention development over time. You can read it at: https://t.co/lwI3z8UKht

Words cannot describe how happy I am to hold this PhD parchment—a dream come true! Grateful for all the support, especially my parents, proud to make them proud, and my PhD supervisor (@mapalljohn) for putting up with me for four long years. @TCD_Geography @TCD_NatSci
