Brilliant to see @EdTGarrett's important #saltmarshes research in the @yorkshirepost this week 👇🌍 yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/env…

Yorkshire researchers warn on looming loss of vital carbon sink and wildlife havens

Formed as mud and silt are washed onto the land by coastal tides, the UK’s saltmarshes are thought to store around five million tonnes of carbon.

Homeward bound after #UoYAustria24. A great week of mountains, lichens, rockslides, salamanders, bear scat, Arolla pines, trail runs, top food, pub quizzing, awesome colleagues, and a fantastic bunch of students.

A day of desk-work. Our students worked hard, gave some great presentations, & enjoyed a pub quiz devised by the staff. There was still time for marmot-spotting & a final view of our glacier #UoYAustria24 @YorkEnvironment @UniOfYork #NationalFestivalofFieldwork #Ötztal #Austria

Saltmarshes do store carbon, but their climate impact may have been overestimated. New article in @ConversationUK from @Coastal_Carbon and me on our recent @NERC_CSIDE papers theconversation.com/saltmars…

Saltmarshes do store carbon, but their climate impact may have been overestimated

Climate policy has been based on a global average for salt marshes’ ability to capture carbon, but outside the tropics marshes accumulate less carbon.

A new paper in @STOTEN_journal reviews organic #carbon accumulation in British #saltmarshes. The study suggests the low accumulation rates highlight the need to protect the organic carbon already locked away in #saltmarsh soil. Read more 👉 loom.ly/-NRTJ-8
