In this ancient Assyrian letter, astronomers complain that they can’t do their jobs or teach astronomy “because of the ilku-duty”, a type of taxation in the form of labour. “we cannot keep the watch of the king, and the pupils do not learn the scribal craft” cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/33...

Question for #hydrology #dataviz and #webdev folks… has anyone seen a visualisation like the below from earth.nullschool.net (by @cambecc.bsky.social) but for river discharge not wind speed?? Sure I saw something similar previously but now can’t remember where!

Working on some exciting updates to www.SewageMap.co.uk with @jonnydawe.github.io!!

Be sure to visit our website journals.uu.se/AGC and let us know if you are planning to submit your work to AGC in the upcoming months (link below). We appreciate your support and are looking forward to receiving your manuscripts!

Happening all morning at poster board #1224 in Earth & Planetary Surface Processes!

This was a really great poster on a fascinating topic! #AGU24

Now up! Come learn how cocaine enters rivers in London! (…and if someone could also bring me a coffee… ☕️)

This is my personal "evenings and weekends" project. Mathematically adjusted football league tables. Quite interesting at the moment for the Premier League.

Really excited to share that as of January I will be joining @es-ucl.bsky.social as a Lecturer! Looking forward to getting stuck in and being a part of an exciting and growing cluster in #surfaceprocesses and #geochemistry expertise! 🗻🧪🧑‍🔬🏞️

I'm attending #AGU24 all of next week in DC and excited to have some great chats with folks about pollution, weathering, & landscapes! 🇺🇸 I'm presenting and involved in a few talks and posters this year...👇1/5

There it is! @weareagc.bsky.social is opening for submission next month. It's been quit a ride so far and we're excited for the future! Go check our policies and team on www.agcj.org And help us plan our initial workloa by telling us if you plan to submit a paper to AGC here: t.co/Ji7NnCOBCC

Really excited to be a (small) part of this endeavour as a copy editor! AGC is a new community led, *free to read, free to publish* journal of geo+cosmochemistry! Open for submissions 20th of January! Please share widely 🧪⚒️☄️💫📝💎

Last week I had the pleasure of hosting a Euro-CSDMS workshop to envision future models of the natural world. Inspirational discussions & tangible next steps towards a thriving international community pioneering the next generation of environmental models! @csdms.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social

Thinking about next-generation environmental models and societal implications with #EuroCSDMS never felt more pressing. With @alexglipp.bsky.social @mdpiper.bsky.social @gregtucker.bsky.social @csdms.bsky.social and many more!

To date the best conference freebie I have ever received!

Enjoyed a discussion today on #models and #modelling in geochemistry as a group w @alexglipp.bsky.social Took away the idea of empirically adequate models, and how to design model experiments alongside data 🧪⚒️🖥️📈 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
