I learned a huge amount recording this podcast on equine grass sickness. It’s a devastating disease impacting at least one in 200 UK #horses a year. We’re hoping to find out it’s cause and stop that toll. Listen to learn more. #EGS @MoredunComms

Our latest #HuttonHighlights #podcast looks at how efforts to discover the cause of a devastating #horsedisease called equine grass sickness (#EGS) have turned to #soilscience here at the Hutton.

For our latest #HuttonPodcast, we take a journey up to 600 m high on the #Balmoral Estate with the experts from our #peatland team.
What looks like a normal barren hill is in fact an outdoor #laboratory for peatland experiments.

Our @HuttonEBS team has been out in Perthshire taking #soil, water and #wildlife scat (poo) samples.
These samples will help to hunt down the #microorganism that causes Johne’s disease, a fatal wasting disease in #cattle and #sheep.

Great to be part of the Mountain Heights, Hidden Depths Munro Soil Survey run by @JamesHuttonInst . My adopted Munro was Beinn a' Chaorainn from which I collected soil samples from 3 designated sample points. @walkhighlands

Had a fun day on Ben Lui sampling some high altitude soil for the @JamesHuttonInst #MunroSoils citizen science project. The project aims to collect DNA from soil across Scotland's alpine zone to understand biodiversity variability & provide a baseline to track future changes🧪⛰️

Being a #peatland hydrology & #greenhouse gas technician means climbing flux towers!
We have a network of towers to measure greenhouse gas #emissions from peatland.
This one @Natures_Voice Forsinard Flows Nature Reserve.

Our @HuttonES field team were recently at #Balmoral taking #peat core samples to measure #hydraulic conductivity.
It can be a hard job just getting the equipment to site!
But it will help us understand peat health and support our peatland team’s #science.
