East Dunbartonshire Mosses
The peat core is emptied from the corer into a plastic gutter to allow examination and sampling. In the middle of this picture can be seen a section of peat where the climate dried out for a number of decades, allowing decomposition of the peat in the aerobic conditions, whereas on either side of this section, the preserved remains of sphagnum moss and sedges can be found, preserved in the anaerobic conditions of the wet peat.

Dr Richard Tipping demonstrating a peat sample, Lenzie Moss. The peat core can be used for the analysis of wind-borne pollen, largely tree pollen, but also of grasses, sedges and heather. Pollen analysis allows the interpretation and reconstruction of palaeoclimates and paleovegetation, which has relevance to understanding modern climate change.
