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...
The 12th edition of the science festival took places in Fyrishov between 10-12th October. The days were filled with workshops, lectures, competitions, and experiments organized by a wide range of faculties from Uppsala University and SLU. Sara Camiolo from the PredPeat project joined the colleagues from Climes and CNDS to explore the themes of meteorology and hydrology with schools and the general public. On Friday, Sara led the workshop “Build your own peat-filter and have fun cleaning rainwater” for students from 6 to 10 years old. On Saturday, many families stopped by to learn more peat, wetland restoration and the...
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”.
