❗New paper❗So pleased to see this out - my 1st foray into Arctic #sneakybeasties, in collab with colleagues @NINAnature, @NorskPolar, @NTNU and @ETH 🕵️. 36 spp of alien plants in all settlements of Svalbard, and how to stop the problem getting worse! 🌱🌱🌱🌱 #InvasiveSpecies
📰Published📰
Where we go, they follow! @JesamineCB et al. explore the status of alien plants in Svalbard and present a method for monitoring alien flora in polar regions.

A kit bag can only mean one thing - field work!! 🥳This #PolarAlienHunter is heading to Chile @inach_gob and @SAERI_FI to collect samples to uncover where #sneakybeasties on an #Antarctic ship have come from!
Also, this gear is SPOTLESS - so I only need to clean my personal gear
Spotlight on plant invasions in the subantarctic islands by @tomvorstenbosch at #neobiota2022. Climatic niche shifts are the norm in this unique environment.
Peatlands cover just 3% of the planet's land but store 30% of its soil carbon.
Let's work together for peatlands by keeping peat carbon in the ground and rewetting peatlands that have already been drained.

Impacts of #climatechange will be felt by biodiversity globally, including in the not-so-remote and not-so-disconnected #Antarctic
Loved writing this piece with a brilliant team of co-authors. And it wouldn't have been possible without the support of @Royalcom1851 - thank you 👏
Don't forget to check out all the awesome #SCAR2022 posters from both of our @AntICON_SCAR parallel sessions on 'Rethinking Antarctic conservation' and 'Human impacts' - they are all wonderful!
Sneak peek of a couple below 😮👌⬇️
It's 24 hours until our second #SCAR2022 parallel session - this time on #human impacts in #Antarctica! 🥳🥳
Looking forward to some exciting talks on topics from fieldwork carbon footprint to environmental impacts of tourism!

And a big thanks back at you for letting me join the team and contribute entomological synergies with the @TheASICSProject and @Polar_Aliens! And to also wrap up my work for @NINAnature with a cracking Arctic expedition!! ⛵️🌱🦋🐜🪰👋
Bye Svalbard, it was hard but amazing! What a field campaign, with many ups and downs.But our team from @usys_ethzh, @WSL_research & @NINAforskning pulled it off. 2 tons of soil, plant specimen and frozen microbial samples coming home for exciting follow-ups on #arcticgreening
4) I learned of the concept "don't be a hero". If the work only can be done by doing weekends/late nights, the system is flawed. If you do it, then you are hiding the underlying flaws, which will not fix the problem. Sticking to a reasonable working load is key. 6/n
