The @PeatMothership second year-end meeting is happening at the @NatureScot @PeatlandACTION headquarters at Battleby

Still very wintry here in the Scottish uplands!

A chilly day yesterday out on frozen peatland, but most enjoyable!

Got my saturated (peat) hydraulic gizmo working. Might take a looong time for the water to filter through though..

As part of the @peatmothership.bsky.social project we are organising a series of workshops focusing on modelling the carbon cycle in peatlands. The workshops will share best practice. Today's first workshop introduced some of the models that include a peat implementation. Further dates soon!

PIs and project partners from many EU countries meeting online today for the 1.5 year UKRI @peatmothership.bsky.social progress meeting and workshops. Really encouraging to see how peatland science is progressing. #PeatlandScience #Peat #Peat&BSky

BBC Scotland Landward visited our Balmoral site to find out what the James Hutton Institute's peatland team were up to. You can catch it www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... twitter.com/JamesHuttonI...

Approaching end-of-year field work, including dipwell, piezometer and weir downloads. Also prototyping a simple dipwell extension to eliminate the effect of bog breathing on our water table data.

It was wall to wall sunshine for some of our field team recently. They were at our research farm #Glensaugh, working on restored and unrestored #peatlands, fixing equipment and taking measurements It can take a full team to do some of this work! #Fridayinthefield twitter.com/JamesHuttonI...

We were out in our peatland study site yesterday, checking and winterising our weirs, taking water samples, and do infiltrometry for unsaturated haydraulic conductivity.
