America, thoughts and prayers. 😞

Sunday mood #Floodland #SOM

My nice heavy and warm down jacket was torn on fieldwork and has been depositing a feather trail everywhere for months. Etsy to the rescue 👾😁 #Ripley❤️

In Ireland a wet bog is a happy bog. Staying dry is just a state of mind 😄🌍💧 #Rewetting #Restoration #KeepThePeat

New @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social and team research showing that new peats are being formed in glacial valleys where ice is retreating due to climate change. I helped a bit with the mapping and GIS 🌍😎 dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024... #OpenAccess #AGU

I too have been poisoning minds all day making sure students have enough toxic data for their dissertation work 🌍😀

Great week working with African Geologists visiting #Belfast. Of course we had to run a field trip to the Giants Causeway! Definitely not African weather 😀 #GeoHeritage #Geology ##OnePlanet @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social

Portglenone, Co.Antrim on the River Bann. North Up 1/6/1954 #RAF #QUB #Geography #AP 🛩️

Scanner time! Another stab at digitising the QUB Geography 1950's RAF Aerial Survey archive of Northern Ireland. Scanned at 1200dpi the ground resolution is about 25cm. Lots of 🐮's not many 🚗's. Working away when I can. 👀🛩️

Pretty amazing what is happening in the States at the moment. Crucial publicity funded geodata being purged from government websites. The billionaires who profited from taxpayer funding are shutting it down 😬

“…3,532 people died during the troubles. During same period, 7291 died on the roads. The Troubles are a reminder of the suffering caused by violence and a context for understanding the tragic consequences of road death” New post on @sluggerotoolepols.bsky.social sluggerotoole.com/2025/02/04/r...

Belfast 🥶 #AMOC

What would happen if key ocean currents that bring warm water from the tropics to the North Atlantic collapse? Temperatures in northern Europe would drop drastically, studies suggest. Our full story on the risks of AMOC collapse: www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is great news for cycling but there are many other areas desperately in need of a safety upgrade. The clusterfeck that is the SailorTown/Harbour/Yorkgate Station stretch of the foreshore route. Like cycling through a scene from Threads 😬 #DFI www.infrastructure-ni.gov.uk/news/ministe...

I'm having fun asking #DeepSeek about Chinese history and politics. It looks like there is some lag in the censorship kicking in. A search on Mao lets me read a bit before I'm kicked out.

I remember exactly where I was when I heard on the news of the #Omagh town bombing. I had too been out doing Saturday hometown stuff and only a year out of Uni. Everyone should be reading these testimonies from the relatives and the lives ended. Heartbreaking. ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

We are now in the beyond fucking stupid realms of human existence. #MapIdiot www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Some more good news for the Sentinel-2 mission! Sentinel-2A, which recently retired, has been given a temporary extension, where it will support S2B and S2C to provide additional data. Lots of hard work behind the scenes to make this happen. Glad to see it! sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel...

A little comic about desire paths.

Belfast sea level air pressure dropped from 988hpa (00:00hrs) to 956hpa (06:44) as #Éowyn central pressure passed over. That's 32hpa is less than 7hrs! #QUBGeog www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pw...

Historic storm for Ireland. The 115 mph gust breaks the nation’s previous all-time wind gust record of 113 mph. Mace Head reported sustained winds of 85 mph at 4 am, well above Cat 1 hurricane strength. Peak wave heights at the M3 buoy on the SW coast hit 20m (65’). #StormÉowyn
