@ChiefScienEA
Dr Robert Bradburne. Putting science and rigorous analysis at the heart of the Environment Agency. Tweet @EnvAgency for general enquiries.
Welcome to the @EnvAgency Chief Scientist’s twitter account. Watch this space for news of the science and #EAscientists that underpin the Environment Agency’s work
📢 PhD opportunities to study flooding The @EnvAgency is supporting 9 PhD positions through the @unisouthampton FLOOD-CDT. Full-time and part-time positions are available with funding 👉 noc.ac.uk/gsnocs/project… @BristolUni @lborouniversity @UniofNewcastle @NOCnews
Healthy soils support water filtration, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, climate resilience, and much more. Understanding our soils is key to protecting and using them sustainably. Below, meet #EAScientists who are measuring, monitoring, and managing soils🌱 #WorldSoilDay
This #WorldSoilDay, we're appreciating the incredible role soil plays in our lives. The Environment Agency's dedication to soil science is more important than ever as we face global environmental challenges. Read more about our work: environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2024/12/05/wor…
The @EnvAgency's science strategy is looking to the future. From #EarthObservation to #eDNA, #EAScientists are investing in our science assets and driving innovation to better understand and protect the environment for years to come 🛰️ 🔗 gov.uk/government/pub…
Since delivering our science strategy last year, #EAScientists have published work that spans @FCRMResearchEA, #SocialScience, and #EnvironmentalScience disciplines. Our research supports the @EnvAgency's diverse science needs 🌿 🔗 gov.uk/government/pub…
One year ago, the @EnvAgency published its science strategy 🎉 People are at the heart of our strategy. It's been a privilege supporting the development of over 1,500 #EAScientists who are dedicated to creating better places for people and wildlife. 🔗 gov.uk/government/pub…
The @EnvAgency's research into environmental #AMR provides part of the science and evidence needed to inform future regulatory processes. Working together, we can educate, advocate and act now to respond to #AntimicrobialResistance 🌍 🔗 environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2024/10/24/mon… #WAAW #OneHealth
🦠 #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek shines a light on foodborne pathogen and AMR surveillance insights delivery by the PATH-SAFE pilot. Key insights ⬇️
This year, the @EnvAgency published our flagship #AMR research project. It investigated the presence of resistant organisms, genes, and substances in three river catchments in England, each representing different land uses 💧 🔗 environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2024/10/24/mon… #WAAW #OneHealth
Working across government, #EAScientists are finding ways to monitor #AntimicrobialResistance in the environment. Our research investigates options for #AMR surveillance across marine and fresh waters, land, air, fauna, and flora 🌱 🔗 environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2024/10/24/mon… #WAAW #OneHealth
As we move into the next phase, continued collaboration and investment will be crucial to transforming these insights into sustainable improvements in public health and surveillance practices. Read more about the PATH-SAFE programme ⬇️ #AMR #PATHSAFE food.gov.uk/our-work/patho…
Since 2021, the @EnvAgency has been investigating environmental #AMR as part of a cross-governmental research programme. Together, we’re piloting the development of national surveillance networks for #AntimicrobialResistance 🗺️ 🔗 environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2024/10/24/mon… #WAAW #OneHealth
World #AntimicrobialResistance Awareness Week celebrates the collaborative efforts of human, plant, animal, and environment sectors to tackle #AMR 🦠 Follow along this week to learn how #EAScientists are working across disciplines to understand AMR in the environment. #WAAW
We're working with others to increase knowledge and evidence about our environment. There are many ways to get involved: 🤳 Chat with waterways via @HelloLampPost_ 💧 Take part in @theriverstrust #BigRiverWatch 🪰 Join a local @Riverflies monitoring group Learn more below 👇
Want to learn about your local river and add to the knowledge and evidence needed to improve and protect our environment? We’re working with partners and projects encouraging #CitizenScience to monitor water courses.💧 Find out how to get involved: environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2024/10/22/dis…
Thanks to @PlanetP_ossible for inviting me to talk about #CitizenScience on their latest podcast. Public engagement with nature, like that led by @theriverstrust and @Earthwatch_Eur, truly complements monitoring underway at the @EnvAgency. 🎧 Listen here: bit.ly/PP_CitizenScie…
Through cross-government research, the @EnvAgency is exploring the development of environmental surveillance methods for #AntimicrobialResistance. Our latest research on #AMR in surface waters will help inform future action. Read more 👉 environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2024/10/24/mon…
Enjoyed meeting members of @BioAirNet1 at #CleanAirConference last week. Great to see such a diverse research community tackling environment and health issues together☁️ Read how #EAScientists are working with this community to create healthy air for all: environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2024/09/26/shi…
