Interested in understanding the ecological impacts of #Eutrophication in #LoughNeagh then come and join Lesley Lancaster and me for your #QUADRATPhD journey - focusing on trophic structure, stability and ecosystem functioning in the UK’s largest lake! findaphd.com/phds/project/q…

Many thanks to the National Trust NI for inviting me along to talk about ‘Climate resilience and the Natural Environment’ and participate in the launch of their new report #AClimateforChange at Stormont today. Great to meet so many NI leaders in the #Climate and #Nature domains!

Probing panel conversations at #AClimateForChange event in Stormont today. At the heart of all discussions is a clear call for 'more action for climate adaption'. #NationalTrustNI

Really enjoyed attending this event today and answering a few questions about involving young people in adapting to climate change and about my own connection to Mount Stewart
