Congrats to the amazing Dr @MozafariBehzad who successfully passed his PhD viva in @UCDEngArch with supervisors @fiachraol and Prof. Michael Bruen; thanks to the fantastic peatland hydrologist Michel Bechtold @peatfunc acting as External Examiner. @EPAResearchNews
The science of rewetting peat soils with Dr Flo Renou-Wilson at workshop hosted by @birdwatch youtube.com/watch?v=tCbVJe…
Final short talk by Mary Kelly-Quinn (@UCDSBES) on Informing policy + practice to protect Ireland’s freshwaters and her work with Citizens Assembly on Biodiversity Loss (@CitizAssembly) + 18 key messages informed by her #CitizenScience work + research /9
Our post-doc Dr Lipe Mendes presented early results of water quality dynamics from an extracted #bog demonstrating harmful effluents and little effect of pond treatment on water quality; see poster on our website: ucd.ie/swamp @EPAResearchNews @EPACatchments

On #WorldWaterDay, let's shine the light on how a sustainable management of peatlands can help with poor water quality, scarcity and biota loss. Let's clean up our act, stop peatland degradation for the benefits of all.
Excellent work from my PhD student @MozafariBehzad and his first paper too.

Ecological livelihoods, restoration economies and small-scale transformational change. Community groups are constructing futures, building livelihoods & managing peatlands in diverse ways that contribute to social AND ecological resilience #PeatTwitter A🧵 tinyurl.com/3nrbexv8
Peatland drainage and extraction provide several serious challenges to aquatic life: increased mortality, reduced richness, behavioural changes, habitat alterations and changes in community structure! See more in latest article👇 @EPAResearchNews muse.jhu.edu/article/870479

Robust results from 5 years monitoring confirms that rewetting drained bogs 1) reduce C emissions 2) establish optimal conditions for C sequestration & 3) set the site on a climate cooling trajectory. Funded by @EPAIreland @ProjectAuger onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc… @EPAResearchNews
