Shane visited from Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry where he is conducting his PhD with Prof Susan Trumbore. He came to sub-sample soils from the Winchmore long-term pasture grazing trial for subsequent measurement of bomb carbon. Pictured here he is assisting with soil sampling with Matt House (MSc student).

Congrats to Sheree who very successfully defended her PhD today and now Dr Balvert!

Sad to see Liyin departing but excited that he has a permanent position at Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research and looking forward to continuing to work with him.

A great gathering of the research team, family and friends at Dave and Annie’s Greenspace for a wonderful lunch. In part to farewell Liyin who is taking up a scientist position at Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research. Sad to see him go but now we have another external collaborator!

Thomas gets a MPI Science Scholarship from Hon Meka Whaitiri (Associate Minister of Agriculture) to support his PhD research project on a new technique for measuring average concentration of nitrate and phosphate in waters.
