The exhibition explores three key themes:
Highlighting the “ecosystem engineers” responsible for storing carbon below the ground, and other resident plants and animals.
Describing experiences of data collection in and around the swamps.
Displaying ways people interact with these ecosystems.
All of the images highlight different components of the research being carried out by a team at the University of St Andrews. To find out more about their research, explore them Research tab. We have also compiled some resources to enable people to use our images and stories as tools for teaching in schools; have a look at the Educational materials tab for more information on these.
