Congrats to Mohan KC who won an award (Best Data Acquisition) for his PhD presentation at the School of Science annual postgraduate conference.

New team members, Vitor and Valeria, visited one of our favourite spots – Kopuatai peat dome with Dave Campbell. They are surrounded by Empodisma and Sporadanthus.

Louis and Jack Pronger (Manaaki Whenua) gave an overview of the drained peat soils and greenhouse gas emissions. They also focussed on planned and upcoming research seeking to reduce these emissions.

Holly’s thesis explored the importance of dung returns in pastures for maintaining carbon stock in soil.

Today Reza graduated after completing his PhD: “Carbon Dosing of Denitrifying Bioreactors to Remove Nitrate from Agricultural Drainage”
