Optimising NFM in headwater catchments to protect downstream communities #ProtectNFM

Part of the NERC NFM research programme @NERC_NFM #NercNFM

[ProtectNFM @ProtectNFM]

Four year @NERCscience funded project investigating how UK upland #PeatRestoration and #moorland management can be optimised for #NFM benefits downstream. One of thee projects funded through the NERC Understanding the effectiveness of Natural Flood Management programme @NERC_NFM

[Manchester Geography @GeographyUOM]

..at @bluedotfestival ? Come along and check out our https://t.co/vMTEyzdiDG and @ProtectNFM stands!

Heard about Natural Flood Management (NFM) before? It was an honor to speak to the good people of Manchester today about NFM. The three channels shown here represent bare, revegetated and revegetated plus gully blocked channels @SocialResponUoM @GeographyUOM @Em_Shuttleworth

[ProtectNFM @ProtectNFM]

@Em_Shuttleworth and @reesj02 getting ready to demonstrate how our #peatland #restoration work with @moorsforfuture and @EnvAgencyNW helps reduce #flood risk at Manchester History Festival @mcrhistfest #PeatlandsMatter #SciComm

[ProtectNFM @ProtectNFM]

We'll be sharing our findings on the #NFM benefits of #PeatlandRestoration in this session at #EGU22. Why not join us?

[Emma Shuttleworth @Em_Shuttleworth]

Last chance to submit #EGU22 abstracts. Extended deadline closes TOMORROW, 14 Jan @ 13:00 CET. Plenty of great #peatland sessions, including "#PeatlandHydrology: from tropical to subarctic latitudes". More info here:https://t.co/xfnlo18w2T #PeatlandsMatter

[Emma Shuttleworth @Em_Shuttleworth]

Calling all #peatland hydrologists! Still time to submit an abstract to "#PeatlandHydrology: from tropical to subarctic latitudes" at #EGU22. Deadline tomorrow, 12 Jan @ 13:00 CET / midday UK. Full details here: https://t.co/LeL5pXeGw5 #PeatlandsMatter #EGU2022

[NERC NFM @NERC_NFM]

It's Day 10 of our #NFM #AdventCalendar🎄Today we revisit the @ProtectNFM webinar presented by Dr Salim Goudarzi & Dr David Milledge (@UniofNewcastle) "Quantifying the impact of blanket #peat re-vegetation & gully blocking for #NFM"
Listen here: https://t.co/Sw59jMQ2Tp

[UoM Humanities @uomhums]

As tomorrow is #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's take a look back on how some of our @GeographyUOM Professors were involved in investigating how to manage floods that are caused by climate change🌍

@UNEP @EnvAgencyNW @ProtectNFM

[ProtectNFM @ProtectNFM]

ProtectNFM are recruiting...12 month postdoc position available from August

[Joseph Holden @geojho]

Our new @ProtectNFM paper interrogating interacting NFM #flood benefits from blanket peatland restoration is now out and freely available in Water Resources Research https://t.co/WCoX1ezkrZ

[ProtectNFM @ProtectNFM]

@EnvAgencyNW @OfficialUoM @moorsforfuture Just to be clear, the installation of the measures is complete... the research project assessing their impact is ongoing 🙂

[NERC NFM @NERC_NFM]

Good work @Em_Shuttleworth @ProtectNFM for setting up a novel #scicomm workshop today to showcase many different approaches to novel comms, co-production, games, drawing .... @ProfPHaygarth @JoClarkUoR @samillingworth @FloodSkinner

[ProtectNFM @ProtectNFM]

A model example of how to make #NFM modelling accessible to us non-modellers from Salim Goudarzi! Find the recording of the webinar below 🌊🌄🖥️ #peatlands @NERC_NFM https://t.co/0qIcntXng7

[ProtectNFM @ProtectNFM]

Great to be back out doing social distanced #fieldwork again in the #PeakDistrict.. even if we did catch Martin playing Minesweeper @UoM_GeogLabs

@SimonMariusMudd @SenoraEco @MartinDHurst @EnvAgencyNW @WoodinRivers @GoWithTheF1ow @slowtheflow_UK Thanks for the heads up Simon. We're working with @moorsforfuture and @EnvAgencyNW on our #peatland #NFM projects. We also work/have worked with @ypp_peat @PAA_Ecology @IUCNpeat who may be able to help. DM us for more info

Gully blocking with peat dams on the moors above Stalybridge yesterday @moorsforfuture @EnvAgencyNW #nfm @UoM_GeogLabs @EPRGManchester

Nothing like marking catchment boundaries in a winter wonderland ☃️🌨️ #NFM #geomorphology #peakdistrict

[ProtectNFM @ProtectNFM]

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! Thanks to restoration work by @moorsforfuture Sphagnum can brighten up the grimmest of days on Kinder scout #peakdistrict #nfm

[ProtectNFM @ProtectNFM]

Deck the halls with Sphagnum subnitens? Even peatlands are showing their festive colours this time of year 🌲 @moorsforfuture
