A huge thankyou to Mr Lloyd who came into talk to the Yr2 children about his amazing job as a scientist . He talked about his many journeys to the Arctic where they sometimes stayed for 6 months sampling the mud and checking for climate changes. He also got to see polar bears and seals. 🦭 lots of the children would love to do his job when they are older!
If you're attending the DR +10 conference, stop by our poster on "The Role of Connectivity in Driving Grassland-Shrubland Regime Shifts: Impacts of Aridity, Grazing, and Wind Dynamics." Day 1 has been filled with great talks!
New Study Alert: Connectivity in Water-Controlled Ecosystems
Exploring water's role across scales—from hillslopes to river networks. This perspective article contrasts water-mediated connectivity in drylands & floodplains through ecology and geomorphology.

2 fully funded MSc research positions. Research will be on how peatlands can directly mitigate climate change - one will use field collected data and the other Earth observation. Apply via https://t.co/i8NkbkYdtn or contact me. Application by 2nd July @JLAKnapp@DurUniEarthSci
What is the role of complexity, nonlinearity and phase transitions in conservation biology? What kind of lessons from maths can help preserve biodiversity? Here's my last paper in Biological Conservation. @ftmaestre https://t.co/PDGlkHIRkJ
4 years of i-CONN: great ESRs, fantastic research, truly interdisciplinary collaborations, loads of networks, and a phenomenal application of network approaches to explore connectivity across a multitude of systems @GeogDurham @MSCActions @HorizonEU@network_iConn
We are (re) advertising a post for a Research Associate in Ecohydrological Modelling as part of our EU H2020 @D2E_Project. Details 👇 and deadline is 17th October. Please do get in touch.

Great week in Mallorca with a fab group of 3rd yr @DurhamGeog students, learning all about diverse Mediterranean environments from coastal wetlands to mountain tops, with great contributions by @josepfortesa@JaumeCompany @jjestrany Thanks all
Job opportunity: Teaching Fellow in Physical Geography (ID: 23001092) Closing date for applications is 11.59pm on 3rd August 2023 https://t.co/TOGrAvhBVb
A good start to @GeogDurham New Mediterranean Environments field trip module - we headed to the trees to escape the heat and to figure out in a real-world setting how to model ecosystems. Much better than the classroom!
Finally Marc Hutt wrapped up the session with a summary of I-CONNs work on “Development of the theory underpinning connectivity” after which @DemianBattaglia had us thinking about Plutarch’s parallel lives and parallel networks!
It’s that time of year… @network_iConn annual meeting on applications of connectivity to understand and manage #complexsystems. @FionaCoward kicked us off with a fascinating talk about network analysis of material culture as social connectivity
John Perez and Julia Costescu took us on a journey through their catchments in Austria and UK, followed by a trip to the USA to uncover critical nodes in drylands with @EcogeoNetwork
