📢 NEW JOB OPP!
This time we are looking for someone to advance the science+conservation of ecosystems in the Western Congo Basin. If you are an ECR, and into climate change ecology, ecosystem dynamics & remote sensing: consider applying :)
Deadline: 29/9

Delighted to see our paper now published @GlobalChangeBio led by @MorwennaMck. Thanks to all co-authors we show that the ecological implications of fine sediment are not generalizable globally and require context specific approaches. #UKRIFLF https://t.co/9fDudomiwC

[Molly Bridger @MABridger]

Excited to be able to share my poster at #SEFS13 on #riverrestoration . Currently exploring UK pre- and post-project monitoring to help develop an 'ecological toolbox'. @freshwaterbio @lborogeog #PhD #presentation #freshwater #ecology

[Kate Mathers @mathers_kate]

Interested in biological invasions at #SEFS13 then join our session today with @S_Guareschi, @ZarahPattison, @josie_south in 1.17.

[Kate Mathers @mathers_kate]

At #SEFS13? Then check out the two @lborogeog #UKRIFLF talks happening today in the biomonitoring session in 2.14.

@MorwennaMck at 11am on the interaction of flow, fine sediment & inverts

And me at 2.30pm on the importance of season & habitat for fine sediment assessments!

@chloe_hayes2 @rstubbington @Judy_E12 @IainBarber @DryRiverbedGirl @NTU_ARES Congratulations Chloe!! 💫

[Dr Morwenna Mckenzie @MorwennaMck]

Thank goodness for 24hr McDonald’s 😅

[Dr Catherine Sanders @crayfish_cath]

Fantastic (if crazy!) day - drift Surber and colonisation sampling invertebrates at the @RiverComms flumes with @mathers_kate and @MorwennaMck . Will share the results as soon as we’ve picked the 408 samples and counting 😂 #FlumeFriday #UKRIFLF

[Kate Mathers @mathers_kate]

Gearing up for the big day tomorrow when our #UKRIFLF fine sediment experiments start in vein with the 'science' part! Looking good after their 21-day colonisation period!

[Kate Mathers @mathers_kate]

#flumefriday Restored outdoor flumes are up & running for #ukriflf experiments & undergoing invertebrate colonisation! Would not have been possible without the best teamwork support ever & weeks of hard graft 💪 #ukriflf @MorwennaMck @crayfish_harry @RiccoMason @Mhill846

[Kate Mathers @mathers_kate]

Back for phase 2 of flume restoration this week and the channels are beginning to take shape! Debrambling, desilting and veg clearing ✅️ Field team is on 🔥 @MorwennaMck @crayfish_harry @Mhill846 #UKRIFLF

PhD ALERT! 😀 Interested in aquatic ecology & river restoration? Then check out this @CENTA_NERC PhD @lborogeog https://t.co/hu3i3Er6tn. Working with @EnvAgency and @The_RRC. Please RT & share with interested students. NOTE short deadline of next 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟲𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐲!

[Dr Catherine Sanders @crayfish_cath]

Had a fantastic week with @mathers_kate and @MorwennaMck restoring these experimental channels for some #FLF fine sediment experiments! #FlumeFriday
