Monitoring changing climate

Wetland Research in the Falkland Islands

Professors Roger Flower and Julian Thompson (果冻影院 Geography) are part of a consortium who have been awarded a聽Darwin Plus Project:听鈥淔alklands wetlands and aquatic habitats: baselines for monitoring future change鈥.

The project partners include the South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute, Falkland Islands Government and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. It is designed to develop an evidence base, applied across the Falklands to monitor and manage future changes, in particular those associated with a changing climate.

The work will include the collation of existing datasets, and intensive field assessments, for example of hydrology, water quality and aquatic invertebrates.

The data will be used to define a series of indicators of wetland conditions for future monitoring as part of a聽Wetlands Action Plan for the Falkland Islands.
