What a fantastic couple of days learning how to install soil respiration collars with Jed Soleiman. Can't wait to get back out to FarmED to see how the measurements are taken. Anyone interested in learning about Regenerative Farming, I would highly recommend a visit 🌾🍄

Great to see Dr Victoria J Burton 🪱 present the results of their meta-analysis on #SoilBiodiversity in #horticultural systems at #GSB2023. Some surprising and thought-provoking finds!

If you're at #GSB23 and interested in how alley-cropping influences soil biological quality on arable farmland, stop by poster 76 this afternoon for a chat 🌳🌾🐛 Or if you're app savvy, connect with me on the conference app for more info.

The sun came out to greet us for our first week of #fieldwork in 2023 🌞 Thanks Aidan Byrne for being a fab field assistant and getting excited about #soil with me. Dr Cecilia Dahlsjö I had a blast learning about your decomposition experiment in Wytham 🌳. Thanks for having me!

Check out our policy brief on Earth Observation (EO) and Great Lake management. EO 🛰️ is a powerful tool for studying water resources. My PhD utilises EO data to explore decadal-scale changes across 100s of East African lakes! The London NERC DTP King's Geography NHM_Students

Less than one month to go until the Natural History Museum Student Conference. Key dates for NHM students below - check your email for the link to share your research! 🐸Abstract submission closes 2nd June 🌋Registration closes 9th June #NHMSC2023 NHM_Students

A cool find from one of my tullgren funnel extracts - a #Diptera not quite fully emerged from its pupal shell 🪰 The choice to record specimens like this as either adults or larvae can influence metrics of biological #SoilHealth, so it prompts an interesting discussion!

960 litter bags weighed, sealed, and ready for the field! 🌿 Undergraduate or master's students in London, Cambridge, Nottingham, or Suffolk looking to gain some valuable fieldwork experience, I could use some help burying these. Contact [email protected] for more info 🌳

Applications are NOW OPEN! The Undergraduate Bursary Scheme provides students from underrepresented backgrounds with 5-6 weeks of hands-on work experience in a museum. Projects cover natural sciences research, museum collections management, and public engagement with science.

Come grab a pint and listen to my talk about satellites, great lakes, water resource monitoring and flamingos! 🦩🛰️💧 14th May at The Devereux!

Another ✨paid✨ summer research placement Natural History Museum studying soil decomposition dynamics on UK farmland 🌳🌾, supervised by myself and Alexa Varah. Pls share w/ UK-based undergrads wanting lab & stats experience. Apply by 17 May. Details SSCP DTP: tinyurl.com/47auzkzz.

Views from the office 🏞️. We had a fantastic week learning about alpine ecology and geological processes with the second-year Department of Environment and Geography ES & EG students! #UoYAustria2024

Be careful what jokes you make around your kids, or you will end up on a conference slide! Thanks to NHM_Students for the chance to showcase my DIY dad's contribution to science AND chat about how alley-cropping could help to tackle soil degradation on UK farms🌳🌾 #NHMSC2024
