We’re incredibly proud of Justina Holden, who achieved A*, A*, A*, A*, A*(EPQ) in her A Levels! Headteacher Miss Hattersley said this year’s results reflect students’ academic strength, creativity, resilience, and praised their personal, academic, and spiritual growth.
Our new paper in One Earth shows the importance of feedbacks from northern peatlands if we keep warming the planet beyond 1.5°C

The protection and restoration of peatlands should be a priority action for climate change mitigation, say experts from @wateratleeds.
@catherinesmoody, @geojho and @baird_andy wrote about peatlands in the UN-Water Report: Water for Climate Mitigation. 👇
