SAPLING Lab

Research group based in Lancaster Environment Centre, interested in measuring & modelling the interactions between the land, the atmosphere and society.

[SAPLING Lab @lab_sapling]

Why hello there! We are the Sapling Lab and we Tweet, blog, vlog and podcast just about anything that involves the interactions, conflicts and stalemates between the land surface (especially forests and cropland), the atmosphere (especially climate and air pollution) & society 👋

Way to go @MichaelWolffe2. 🥳Comments from #EvilReviewer2: The presented manuscript is of significant novelty and interest. It can be accepted in this form. Just the small matter of #EvilReviewer4 to deal with. If they don't get you one way...🤷

#PeerReview system is certainly in need of a thorough overhaul; but then again so is the #PublishOrPerish culture that allows malpractice, abuse of the system and downright prejudice to flourish ... We are more than a (h-)number! 👇

[Atle Rotevatn @UiB_Rotevatn]

Very good thread with some very good thoughts/suggestions on the peer review/publishing process from @BMatB

[SAPLING Lab @lab_sapling]

Thoroughly-deserved awards for two incredible scientists. 👏

[iLEAPS @iLEAPS18]

So proud to work with @odee_david , iLEAPS SSC & @UKLadybirds - congratulations to you both

[SAPLING Lab @lab_sapling]

Great advice from @networks_nat. Hard to do, cos as soon as that manuscript is out the door all you long to do is (a) celebrate, (b) sleep, (c) forget all about it, but worth the effort. Right @ithinkwellHugh @ENVISIONDTP @LancsUniLEC @LancsPhotosynth @Energy_Environ ?

[SAPLING Lab @lab_sapling]

How will you mark the very first #InternationalDayOfCleanAir for blue skies? #07Sept2020 Organised by @UNEP @WHO @CCACoalition Post a photo of the air you breathe that day using #CleanAirForAll. And check out activities/resources at https://t.co/W2rB2zG2rd

2/2 ... until he was the only one left; pulling the plug on an exciting experiment with @UoM_EES at 11th hour; seeing his summer fieldwork plans evaporate. And all without his daily #IcedAmericano. 😱 But still bursting with ideas, enthusiasm and #JoieDeVivre. 🌟

Third shout-out for #TopOfTheFlock: @ahyunjin0804 who's endured #LockdownUK 1000s km from his family & friends back home in #SKorea; worrying about them & trying to reassure them that @Conservatives did have some kind of plan; watching everyone leave @LancasterUni campus 💪 1/2

Second nomination for #TopOfTheFlock goes to @MichaelWolffe2 - without him you wouldn't be reading this now, or following our blogs or listening to our podcasts at https://t.co/EiHc7DlM77 Great job! 🎤

First nomination for #TopOfTheFlock goes to @The_Masterwort. In spite of the covid spanner-in-the-works of her summer's experiment, she had the generosity of spirit to connect with our two Oct 2020 #PhDLife starters to help them get things in place ready to start @LancsUniLEC 🤝
