PhD student Cathal Ryan has been doing humification analysis on his peat cores to find out more about past peat decomposition. Read more about his experience here.
In early December, PhD student Cathal Ryan was invited to join the ‘Peatland Research Workshop 2023’ at Glenveagh National Park, organised by the LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature project. During this 2-day event, Cathal presented his PhD research, met with those managing the national park and doing peatland research, and went on to the blanket bogs of the park to see the condition of the peat and signs of erosion. Here Cathal discusses the importance of the national park and his observations from the trip.
