Final short talk by Mary Kelly-Quinn (@UCDSBES) on Informing policy + practice to protect Ireland’s freshwaters and her work with Citizens Assembly on Biodiversity Loss (@CitizAssembly) + 18 key messages informed by her #CitizenScience work + research /9
Our post-doc Dr Lipe Mendes presented early results of water quality dynamics from an extracted #bog demonstrating harmful effluents and little effect of pond treatment on water quality; see poster on our website: ucd.ie/swamp @EPAResearchNews @EPACatchments

A new dawn for Irish peatlands? Proper management could have big impact on carbon emissions
Rewetting and correct land management can have a transformative effect - turning from a carbon source to sink
Troubled waters: our latest @SWAMP_Project paper presents a snapshot of the quality of streams in the Irish midlands, known for its historical expanse of raised bogs, most affected by peat extraction. @EPAResearchNews @CPschenyckyj @watersmatter link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Well done to our SWAMP researcher @MozafariBehzad on his publication on #peatland dynamics: A review of process-based models and approaches @EPAResearchNews
Check out our recent publication on #FAIRScience and #CommunityModelling in #PeatlandResearch!
On #WorldWaterDay, let's shine the light on how a sustainable management of peatlands can help with poor water quality, scarcity and biota loss. Let's clean up our act, stop peatland degradation for the benefits of all.
Excellent work from my PhD student @MozafariBehzad and his first paper too.
Ever wanted to know what is process-based modelling to better understand peatland dynamics? PhD candidate @MozafariBehzad from @SWAMP_Project and @EPAResearchNews reviewed them all & argues 4 a community modelling platform to foster cooperative research sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Join us at the @FreshwaterIE 2023 meeting @ATU_GalwayCity next Friday 10th. A bumper packed program covering everything freshwater science related in Ireland Registration & event details: shorturl.at/iAFO1
EPA-funded @FlowEcology are looking for citizen scientists to take water level measurements from Irish rivers in 2023. See below for more info #EPAIrelandResearch
We need citizen scientists to take water level measurements from Irish rivers in 2023, using a smartphone app. If interested in volunteering please attend one of our webinars on Weds 7th Dec 6-7pm, or Fri 9th Dec 1-2pm. More info & links to webinars here: flowecology.com/citizen-scienc…
Ecological livelihoods, restoration economies and small-scale transformational change. Community groups are constructing futures, building livelihoods & managing peatlands in diverse ways that contribute to social AND ecological resilience #PeatTwitter A🧵 tinyurl.com/3nrbexv8
Peatland drainage and extraction provide several serious challenges to aquatic life: increased mortality, reduced richness, behavioural changes, habitat alterations and changes in community structure! See more in latest article👇 @EPAResearchNews muse.jhu.edu/article/870479
Excellent infographic on how water is managed in Ireland in this newsletter!
Our Autumn Newsletter is available now, find out about our new Strategic Plan and the recent Water Conservation workshop @SarahECotterill @nfgws @IrishWater @EPACatchments @DCUWater @WatersProgramme @DeptHousingIRL @swanireland thewaterforum.ie/water-forums-a…
Peat still a significant pressure (higher than Industry!) on water qality of water bodies in Ireland! Check out latest report: 👇
Our latest ‘Water Quality in Ireland Report 2016-2021’ shows that Ireland’s surface waters and groundwaters remain under pressure from human activity. Nearly half (46%) of our rivers, lakes, estuaries and coastal waters are not in satisfactory condition. 🔗bit.ly/3EE3jb3
Cork, Donegal and Mayo account for more than 30% of river ecosystems in Ireland cso.ie/en/releasesand… #CSOIreland #Ireland #Environment #Energy #EnvironmentalSubsidies #EnvironmentalAccounts #Climate #Rivers #Lakes #Ecosystem
Climate crisis made summer drought 20 times more likely, scientists find. No time to lose to speed up investment in mitigation and adaptation (of course including river restoration) theguardian.com/environment/20…

Climate crisis made summer drought 20 times more likely, scientists find
Record northern hemisphere drought in 2022 hit crops and power stations, worsening food and energy crises
Our post-doc Lipe Mendes just published a very interesting paper on treating reactive phosphorus by filter materials at the edge of tile-drained agricultural catchments sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Swamp scientist says Nearly 500 ‘near pristine’ freshwater sites lost to pollution since 1980s irishtimes.com/environment/cl…
Robust results from 5 years monitoring confirms that rewetting drained bogs 1) reduce C emissions 2) establish optimal conditions for C sequestration & 3) set the site on a climate cooling trajectory. Funded by @EPAIreland @ProjectAuger onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc… @EPAResearchNews
