On 21-22nd November the 2nd annual meeting of the PredPeat Project was held in a hybrid form. As the first snow of the season hit Uppsala on the night between Wednesday and Thursday, the first day saw the team going back to online meetings with the colleagues based in Finland and the Netherlands. The morning was filled with presentations on summer fieldwork, installations, campaigns and preliminary analysis from the various working groups, while hydrology was the main topic for the afternoon. On the Friday, the discussion focused on ecology and remote sensing, more brainstorming on strategic links between the working...
Gustaf Granath worked with the artists of “Ecotone: transition area between biology and art”. The term “ecotone” is used in ecology to describe a border where two ecosystems meet and create a new species-rich area. What happens when peatlands and art meet? The resulting ecotone was on exhibition at the Uppsala konstnärsklubb for the period 21-29th October 2023. Collaborating artists and researchers: Malin Franzén, Hanna Norrna, Ida Lindgren, Amanda Selinder, Ioana Onut Brännström, Gustaf Granath. Poster of the exhibition at Uppsala konstnärsklubb.

Great interest for the PredPeat project at the EGU24 conference in Vienna (14-19 April) where nearly 21 000 geoscientists from 130 countries discussed their work and ideas in Earth, planetary and space science research. During the session “Large scale hydrology: characterising and understanding hydrological diversity and catchment organisation” Claudia Teutschbein presented her PICO with the title “Introducing CAMELS-SE: Connecting 60 Years of Hydroclimatic Observations with Catchment Attributes for 50 Sites in Sweden”. More at https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu24-15238. During the session “Peatland hydrology: From tropical to subarctic latitudes” Sara Camiolo presented her poster with the title “Can peatland restoration enhance drought and flood resilience...
Over 450 attendees at the 6th biannual conference on “New perspectives in ecological and evolutionary research” in Lund (12-15 March). PredPeat makes the debut with Sahra Gibson and her poster “Linking plant communities with water-related ecosystem functions after peatland rewetting”. Read the full abstract at page 171, poster 164 in the programme of the Nordic Oikos 2024 conference.
