The important role of wetland conservation and restoration in nitrogen removal across European river basins - Nature Water This study evaluates the potential of wetland conservation and restoration to improve water quality and highlights the important role of wetlands in nitrogen removal across European river basins.

Wetlands as water filters

A new study shows European wetlands remove over 1 million tonnes of nitrogen each year. Targeted wetland restoration could cut pollution to seas by up to 36% while aiding biodiversity and climate goals.

Arctic winter is changing fast. In February 2025, #Svalbard saw rain, thawing tundra, and pooling meltwater. The comment by Bradley and co-authors shows how winter #warming is reshaping #polar ecosystems—and why this is the new #Arctic.

July/Aug 2025. We were lucky to get numerous boat rides to our research site at Midtre Lovénbreen from Iain Rudkin at the NERC station. Adam Solon and Iain pictured + flight taking off from Ny-Ålesund to Longyearbyen. #Ny-Alesund #meltingglacier #polarcirkel #higharctic

Treading gently: The scientists who leave little trace at the world's northernmost lab Scientists in the high Arctic are lifting their labs into the air to avoid damage from melting permafrost.

"In daily life I meet people who ask me if the Arctic is actually changing," says Iain Rudkin, Arctic Operations Manager for the British Antarctic Survey.

"I wish they could see how much it's lost so quickly."

Why should we preserve glaciers? Newcastle University experts explain why glaciers are vital and how we can help preserve them, marking World Water Day and the first World Day for Glaciers.

It's International Year of Glacier Preservation and the inaugural World Glacier Day. But why should we preserve these glaciers? from.ncl.ac.uk/why-should-w....

The idea of renaming "Greenland" to "Red, White and Blueland" must have come from our 2020 Science paper where we (Ben Smith and 14 others) used NASA's ICESat and ICESat-2 laser altimetry to show how much the ice sheet surface went up or down in 16 years.
