Spring seems to have arrived in Yorkshire at long last. I have had a lovely day sampling the Rivers Foss, Derwent and Rye for the Natural Environment Research Council funded ECOMIX project.

Just hoping the fencing holds up. That white cow looks like it is already checking it for weaknesses! Good to get the first topping of the grass done today by our friendly farmers, before the next slurry amendment in May FreshwaterQuality Natural Environment Research Council

Frisky ‘research assistants’ wanting to help Ana Castro-Castellon, DPhil & Sydney Enns on our weekly sampling exercise. The curious helpers arrived in the afternoon, after Penny Johnes Dan Davies & Victoria Hussey left.

Fun on the QUANTUM Freshwaters project yesterday making manure dosing bars for our experiments with Ana Castro-Castellon, D.Phil. Field experiments start in 2 weeks after the next slurry amendment. Wondering.....are we the only people hoping for a wet May?

Great theme for a scientist

A great day out in the field yesterday with the QUANTUM Freshwaters team!

First preparation meeting with the UFC team at Fortaleza Drying River Networks and Climate Change. Going through a rich agenda for the next 2 weeks: drying river networks, ecosystem services and values and co-construction of desirable future with local stakeholders 🤩🤩🤩
