Mapping Ireland's peatlands to help cut carbon emissions
Birr, Ireland (AFP) June 11, 2025 Mapping more accurately than ever Ireland's peatlands, which are vital as carbon sinks but whose boundaries can be hard to determine, could help fight global warming, researchers say. Ireland is pockmarked with patches of dark brown peat soil that make up at least 20 percent of the land cover, according to Eve Daly, a geophysicist at the University of Galway, who co-led a groundbreaking project on finding peat. "Peatland soils contain comparable amounts of carbon to the likes of rainforests so a ... read more |
