🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨

Excited to share the research from my master’s project and my first peer-reviewed paper “Macroplastic Debris Transfer in Rivers: A Travel Distance Approach”! (🧵 1/5)

Had a great week attending SETAC in Fort Worth, TX!

On Tuesday, I presented the results from a chapter of my PhD "River Channel Geometry Controls on Chemical Persistence. Insights from a Comparative Field Study".

Thank you very much to the oragnisers!

Looking forward to attending SETAC next week!

If you’re interested in chemical fate and the controls on persistence, join me on Tuesday 22nd October at 10:40 in room 201A!

After a great week at #SETACSeville last week, it's time to start thinking about the next one - just submitted my abstract for #SETAC Fort Worth in October!

And that wraps up an amazing week of science at #SETACSeville!

On Tuesday I presented a poster based on a chapter of my PhD, sparking some great discussions.

Now it's back to the PhD (after taking in the sights of Seville)!

[Robert Newbould @robert_newbould]

The journey to #SETACSeville begins. I'll be presenting my poster "How do River Channel Geometry and Sediment Calibre Affect the Degradation of Wastewater Pollutants" on Tuesday. Find me or get in touch if you're interested in environmental fate/controls on persistence!

🌡️ It's been an exceptionally hot month so far in southern Europe. Records have been broken, with 33.2 Celsius provisionally recorded in Coín, Spain today

🥶 But in Scandinavia it's very cold, even for November, with minus 32.5 Celsius last night in Nikkaluokta, Sweden

Could you make use of a 'big river' model to support education and outreach activities?

I’ve always taken photos of floods in Worcester with my Nikon - today I ventured out with my drone and my god, such a incredible perspective.

Will do more tomorrow as the Severn is still rising.

[Centa Conference 2023 @CENTA_Conf]

Rounding off the session is Robert Newbould, presenting his research on the dissipation of ammonium released into rivers and how it is affected by the size and shape of the river.

[Geology at Leicester @GeologyLeics]

Robert Newbould is now presenting on the influence of system geometry on nitrification kinetics. How does channel geometry influence nitrification of our river systems?

[Ordnance Survey @OrdnanceSurvey]

This data visualisation shows the largest river networks, as measured by the total length of all the rivers and streams that connect to each other.

Using OS data, we're able to determine how rivers, estuaries and streams are connected to each other. 🌊 #UKRivers
