Nice work George Elliot Biddulph, looks great!
📢Do you want to or need to know how much organic carbon (OC) accumulates in Great British saltmarshes. New Natural Environment Research Council funded research has quantified that all GB saltmarshes accumulate 46563 ± 4353 tonnes of OC annually. Check it out: tinyurl.com/nhcnxhfu #bluecarbon
UGs looking for a summer #placement please consider applying for our summer REP. You'll be based at St Andrews Geography & SD and work on #GHG emissions from a restored Scottish #saltmarsh. Cool field and lab work - what's not to like!? superdtp.st-andrews.ac.uk/research-exper…
Saltmarshes are one of the UK’s most important coastal ecosystems - protecting them is vital for climate change mitigation. Read more about new collaborative research from St Andrews Geography & SD and Department of Environment and Geography 👇 ow.ly/Sqpt50RPRSf #EverToExcel
Fab day of fieldwork WWT Caerlaverock collecting #saltmarsh cores for a SUPER Doctoral Training Partnership Natural Environment Research Council REP student project. We even had a curious visitor 🐦 - anyone able to ID? #bluecarbon
Do you know who this is? It is most likely a lapwing chick! Taken by Alex Houston from the University of St Andrews while carrying out fieldwork for a student project. SUPER Doctoral Training Partnership Natural Environment Research Council University of St Andrews #BlueCarbon #WWT

Sunny day of fieldwork sampling both the mature and realigned saltmarshes at Skinflats for a SUPER Doctoral Training Partnership summer internship project. Always enjoy using the PP Systems EGM-5 CO2 Gas Analyser - such a great bit of kit. Not pictured is an ill-advised creek crossing! 🚸 #Bluecarbon
