Delighted to be presenting a keynote at the
@BritishEcolSoc #BESAG2026 Aquatic Ecology Meeting 3-4 September 2026, on our @ERC_Research REFRESH & @NERCscience funded stable isotope dosing experiments demonstrating the role of DOM as a Nutrient Resource in Freshwater Ecosystems.

'For now, markets are relying on emergency stock releases and hopes of a geopolitical de-escalation. But if not, the world economy could face an unprecedented energy shock, with far-reaching and unpredictable consequences.'

The planet’s undisturbed old-growth boreal forests may be far more important in the fight against climate change than previously realized, according to a new Science study, which finds that primary forests in Sweden store over 70% more carbon than managed secondary forests.

Great to see our @QuantumFreshWtr @NERCscience pathogens lead, Davey Jones @bangorsoil cited in the excellent @guardian article by @WATERSHED_i @RachSalv on pollution causes and consequences in Lough Neagh... cattle as “pathogen bioreactors on four legs” https://t.co/JwEJSBVWnu

[Penny Johnes @pj13302]

Really enjoyed contributing to the @BBCRareEarth programme on Lakes, Lochs and Loughs, and meeting @RachSalv and @AmyJaneBeer for the first time. If you missed it today, you can catch up with the programme on BBC Sounds here: https://t.co/d1Y3HG8DcO

📡Still time to sign up for our webinar on Thurs at 2pm for an update on the £2m MOT4Rivers water quality research project to protect river ecosystems.

It uses next generation sensors & satellites to monitor the impact of contaminants on freshwater environments.
To join 👇

[FreshwaterQuality @FreshwaterQual1]

The £2m MOT4Rivers research project is investigating how pollutants interact with rivers & ecosystems to devise a system to monitor & measure pollution.

Prof Andrew Tyler, @StirUni, will share their progress in a webinar, Thurs 12 Feb, 2pm. Message us to join.

Great to see team Quantum hosting a successful event to get input from their stakeholders. The project examines the impact of livestock farming on the quality of water in our rivers.

[Penny Johnes @pj13302]

The @QuantumFreshWtr team welcomed a diverse range of Government, industry, farming and freshwater organisations to our Stakeholder event. Great discussions and exchange of ideas on livestock farming as a driver of changing quality in UK rivers and how to mitigate its impacts!

A workshop is being held by the QUANTUM team @BristolUni on 15 Jan to present findings from their research & capture ideas & expertise from their stakeholders.

They're working with scientists, farmers & regulators investigating how livestock farming affects freshwater quality.

Science delivered some remarkable wins in 2025. From strides in regenerative medicine to needleless allergy rescue for children, these nine advances reveal just how quickly the future of health is taking shape: https://t.co/ZrOwQrcXyp

Microbial movement into soils occurs at a surprisingly local scale. By measuring dispersal rates and spatial patterns, this study challenges the assumption that microbes freely mix across environments.

Great to see this latest @NERCscience publication from our DOMAINE Large Grant programme, by Ellie Mackay @UK_CEH which provides a key advance in our ability to predict growth stimulation of river phytoplankton by organic nutrient enrichment at UK scale: https://t.co/j2lLqGp3Ew
