Peatlands occupy 12% of the UK’s land area & store vast quantities of carbon. Healthy peatlands capture CO2 from the atmosphere and so can help offset the effects of human activities such as fossil fuel burning. Visit our marquee on Ave Q #HighlandShow to learn more #HuttonatRHS
Hot off the digital press: the February 2019 issue of Hutton Highlights, our quarterly review showing how Hutton research is driving the sustainable use of land and natural resources: https://t.co/vDYwUr4Wpn or PDF version https://t.co/pzkouYMZrS #LeadingIdeas
Environmental Resource Management students recently went on a VR field-trip (thanks to @JamesHuttonInst for the equipment), when they had the opportunity to see experts from SRUC, @TheBotanics, JHI & @ThinkUHI explain & demonstrate how peatlands can be used for carbon management.
We will be showing our 360 film, 'Peatland Restoration: Reducing Emissions in a Warming World', today, on the big screen at the Research in the ‘Flow Country’: Expanding perspectives Conference. @SEFARIscot@HuttonES@HuttonICS
