New paper! Led by @JesseZondervan on “Rock organic carbon oxidation #CO2 release offsets silicate #weathering sink” nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
A release of 68 MtC/year is similar to volcanic #CO2

Glorious day for Sanjeev and I to start our local field site greenhouse gas measurements on the River #Thames @RivEscape @ERC_Research @OxUniEarthSci lots of future data collection planned so watch this space #CO2 #CH4

NZ’s lakes are in crisis due to climate change and other human impacts.
Our Lakes, Our Future, a Cawthron and GNS co-led research programme is developing a suite of tools to understand lake health, identify stressors and enable effective restoration.

Please pass on to anyone who might be interested, and feel free to reach out to me to discuss further!
@StEdmundHall @OxUniEarthSci
Excited to be scoping out a local field site on the River #Thames @RivEscape for some more river greenhouse work
Check out a new blog post on our @RivEscape #fieldwork to the Isle of Lewis from @catearthsci as part of her PhD @OxUniEarthSci @ERC_Research @JoshuaFDean

Reunited with @sulikova_sabina and @leomenar11 in the #Mackenzieriver NWT, Canada! 🇨🇦 cracking on with @RivEscape #fieldwork 🫧 incredible to be out here - although seeing the scale of last years #wildfire in the Yellowknife region is pretty humbling. @geoCcycle @JoshuaFDean

Professor David Pyle of @OxUniEarthSci is the recipient of our 2024 Murchison Medal!
David is an internationally recognised volcanologist who has made outstanding contributions to the understanding of volcanic deposits and processes.
Our warmest congratulations David!
A choppy but beautiful day on the #Peel River, including a new site upstream on the Vittrekwa River, again the water level low for this time of year, but this river is always full of sediment @JoshuaFDean @leomenar11 @sulikova_sabina

A successful methane hunt in the Mackenzie! @sulikova_sabina @leomenar11 @geoCcycle
We were lucky to spend a day working at Tsiigehtchic - the mouth of the Arctic Red river - collecting exciting data to better constrain #CO2 and #CH4 release from these major #Arctic rivers with this great team! @JoshuaFDean @sulikova_sabina @leomenar11 @ERC_Research
And here is one for the #ADCP fans out there, the #Mackenzie meander still doing its coherent flow structure thing, with strong gradients in sediment transport (and maybe #CO2 and #CH4 too?)
