TroPeaCC team and other people from various peaty projects in Exeter gathered for a picnic at a park (not on peat – makes for better seating) in Exeter Streatham Campus. While we watch, horrified, the reports of the record breaking temperatures and their catastrophic consequences, it was an exceptionally nice weather for an October picnic. […]

We had the pleasure of hosting Charles Jjuuko, Paola Alarcon and Michel Mbasi, our TroPeaCC team members from Uganda, Colombia and DRC, as visiting students in Exeter for June. It was a very busy, mutually beneficial and fruitful time. We had workshops on peatland ecosystem modelling, methane analysers, methane in plants, eddy covariance, peat age-depth […]

June was a very busy month for the TroPeaCC project. We had the pleasure of hosting Charles Jjuuko, Paola Alarcon and Michel Mbasi, our TroPeaCC team members from Uganda, Colombia and DRC, in Exeter (see a separate post here), and while they were here, we organised another symposium on peat and peatlands (a post about the […]

Those peat lovers among us who are based at Exeter, including several TroPeaCC team members, had a small catch-up meeting in November. Everyone gave a short update on their progress, and Marco Aquino Lopez, who was paying us a visit from Cambridge, gave a fascinating talk on peat dating from a Bayesian perspective. Science was […]

Last month, some of the TroPeaCC team members attended a mini peat workshop in Exeter. It was so nice to meet colleagues (all of use lat flow tested and masked) and listen to presentations in person. For me it was the first time in two years. We had a fantastic range of topics from the […]

  PhD position at The University of Exeter’s College of Life and Environmental Sciences on tropical peatland paleo records, to examine peatland vegetation change and the hydrology and carbon cycle during the Holocene, using samples from the Peruvian Amazon and other tropical sites across the world. The student will work closely with the TroPeaCC project.  […]

TroPeaCC is looking for a post-doctoral research associate or fellow for modelling tropical peatland ecosystem fluxes of energy, water and carbon with the JULES land surface model, from April 2022 to January 2026. Come join our team! Details can be found here.

We are happy to launch the TroPeaCC project. This website this still very much under construction, but please come back for more information later. You can also follow us on Twitter @TroPeaCC
