1. Tuesday 🧵PART 2. Before we talk about #ClimateChange, we might have a look at what happens to all the #Carbon coming off the bogs and into the rivers and lakes, i.e. the transport of terrestrials stores of Carbon to the sea. This is a great infographic from the @c_cascades Infographic showing how car...
2. Current estimates put this at about 5.1 Pg of C per year, although most people expect this to rise, considering the high uncertainty, ongoing anthropogenic impacts, and continual refinement of the science aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo…
3. One of the parts of this carbon is Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) which is the brown colour that you see in bog streams – those of you with water supplies coming off bogs will be familiar with this kind of change

1. Good morning 👋
Tuesdays 🧵Given that most of #Mayo has #Peat soil, it should come as no surprise that the water flowing through the Burrishoole catchment is full of #Carbon, giving the rivers and lakes their typical brown, dark colour

2. There’s nothing particularly special about Lough Feeagh. It’s a fairly typical, deep, #Humic lake (45m deep), similar to many lakes that you find in all the mountainous regions along the west coast. It’s a pretty nice place to work
3. The impacts of #ClimateChange & #LandUse that we measure in Feeagh, therefore, are likely to be replicated in lakes in any of Ireland’s blanket bog catchments (to varying degrees). We'll look at #LandUse change 1st, and how it impacts rivers and downstream aquatic ecosystems

It’s hard to explain what this week feels like for many of us working on #ClimateChange, particularly in #Australia, but I’ll try in this thread.

Firstly though, a link to some practical things you can do to help those directly impacted right now.

Secondly, I can’t imagine what this is like for Indigenous Peoples of Australia - the #FireCrisis is largely due to colonizers f&$king it up on several scales. Broadly, as a function of climate change & specifically, not recognizing/following Indigenous land management practices
Thirdly, a shout out to the many #Climate scientists feeling pretty horrible at the moment. It’s frustrating that we *knew* something like would happen, just like we *knew* the Great Barrier Reef would bleach like it did in 2016 & 2017, & yet the world didn’t act.
