This peatland training programme consists of published documents, Powerpoints and 3D animations that are almost all accessible through the University of East London Open Access Repository, specifically within my section of that repository, or via the IUCN UK Peatland Programme website, so all material is freely available and can be accessed at any time, individually or in any order. There is one link right at the end to a commercially-operated website, though the link provided is an open-access link. We are exploring, however, the potential for bringing this link in-house, so this link may change in time and we will update this if and when this happens.
The programme set out here is suggested as a means of establishing a logical learning curve, introducing key peatland concepts, then moving on to the implications of these for peatland policy, and finally offering more in-depth information about certain topics. The programme does not seek to be comprehensive in terms of addressing all aspects of peatland science, policy and practice, but does aim to focus on key issues relevant to the UK while also offering insights into the wider European or global perspective.
Further topic areas, or topics in more depth, will be addressed in due course as more training materials are created. Their availability will be flagged on the IUCN UK Peatland Programme website as well as appearing in my UEL Repository
