I learned a huge amount recording this podcast on equine grass sickness. It’s a devastating disease impacting at least one in 200 UK #horses a year. We’re hoping to find out it’s cause and stop that toll. Listen to learn more. #EGS @MoredunComms

📢 We are seeking #Arable and mixed #farmers to help shape a new mobile app that could tackle on-farm #greenhouse gas (#GHG) emissions

Join us for a workshop at Glensaugh farm on November 9, where our researchers will demonstrate the app prototype.

It's great to have our #MunroSoils #citizenscience campaign featured on the recent @BBCRadioScot @BBCOutofDoors programme.

For our latest #HuttonPodcast, we take a journey up to 600 m high on the #Balmoral Estate with the experts from our #peatland team.

What looks like a normal barren hill is in fact an outdoor #laboratory for peatland experiments.

Our @HuttonEBS team has been out in Perthshire taking #soil, water and #wildlife scat (poo) samples.

These samples will help to hunt down the #microorganism that causes Johne’s disease, a fatal wasting disease in #cattle and #sheep.

Our head of soil #forensics Lorna Dawson (@Soilfit) & other Hutton scientists were featured in the @BBC Four ‘Catching History's Criminals: The Forensics Story’.

Using Hutton expertise to identify the location of a #soil sample.

Great to be part of the Mountain Heights, Hidden Depths Munro Soil Survey run by @JamesHuttonInst . My adopted Munro was Beinn a' Chaorainn from which I collected soil samples from 3 designated sample points. @walkhighlands

[Kirsten O'Sullivan @kirsten_os]

Had a fun day on Ben Lui sampling some high altitude soil for the @JamesHuttonInst #MunroSoils citizen science project. The project aims to collect DNA from soil across Scotland's alpine zone to understand biodiversity variability & provide a baseline to track future changes🧪⛰️

Being a #peatland hydrology & #greenhouse gas technician means climbing flux towers!

We have a network of towers to measure greenhouse gas #emissions from peatland.

This one @Natures_Voice Forsinard Flows Nature Reserve.

Great blog piece by our head of soil #forensics, Lorna Dawson (@Soilfit).

Discussing her experience on the @SEFARIscot stand at @ArableScotland and the new @Soil_Science loan boxes.

Our @HuttonES field team were recently at #Balmoral taking #peat core samples to measure #hydraulic conductivity.

It can be a hard job just getting the equipment to site!

But it will help us understand peat health and support our peatland team’s #science.
