About the event

The Peat Café builds on the network developed through both the University of Glasgow’s Bright Edge Deep and Discipline Hopping Wetlands initiative and Peat: Past Present and Future network based at the University of Manchester and the north-west more widely.

This is the University of Glasgow's fourth season of hosting the Peat Café; this year, it's being run by PhD student Isobel Harvey, Nicki Whitehouse and Mel Giles, with others dipping in and out.

This student / early career researcher session will be chaired by Issy Harvey, with Meike van Lit discussing the use of non-destructive analyses of peat samples for soil science research and Phil Gould sharing the results of pollen analysis at Glen Devon.
