My name's Aneurin Merrill-Glover, but I generally go by Nye, unless I'm in trouble. I received my PhD in Environmental History from the University of Manchester, looking at the history of Lancashire's lowland raised bogs, or mosslands, between 1650 and 1850.

Since then I've undertaken a six-month postdoc at the Rachel Carson Center hosted by the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, looking at bodily metaphor in the seventeenth-century interpretation of fenland drainage. 

More recently, I've moved into the modern day, working on the Peatscapes project here at Bristol, with the PI Dr James Palmer. On Peatscapes, we're looking at modern-day peatland restoration as a social process - as well as an ecological one.
