Unable to tweet about it at the time, I've written a blog post on the second fieldwork trip of my PhD, and am celebrating by retrospectively tweeting about the work we did! #Palaeolimnology #Madagascar #Pochard madagascarlakesphd.wordpress.com/2020/04/16/fie…

1/6 Post-translocation survival and breeding of Madagascar pochard, “the world’s rarest duck”: MadPoch were believed extinct until <30 were rediscovered in 2006. Egg collection established a captive breeding centre, and a new home was identified: Lake Sofia #BOUsci24 #POSTER1

Having spent centuries seeking to get water off the land as quickly as possible, we now need to look at ways to keep more of it for longer, for wildlife, farming & public supply. Wetlands are part of the solution, bringing multiple benefits alongside resilience to climate change.

Pond restoration may be the most successful form of ecological restoration that we know of. Please sign up to this @freshwaterbio ponds training course by @helenmgreaves & me 27-28 June. Great for practitioners, farmers & all fba.org.uk/shop/p/pond-re…

If you're monitoring phosphates in English rivers using #CitizenScience, you'll probably want to understand what the numbers mean and whether your river is healthy or not. Today I tried to answer that question. Buckle up, its quite a ride... (1/13) @bill_brierley @gis_michelle

Phew! It’s a wrap (again). A real team effort on the part of staff and postgrads to pull off another successful @UCLgeography second year physical geography field class. Prof Axmacher, @lilyunger and Jie escorting the students home. Time for a lie down.
