Well done @connieharpur.bsky.social on producing a wonderful poster at #EGU25. You smashed it and drew a crowd throughout your poster session. Maybe some new collaborations there too! Woop Woop!

On this years’ Portugal trip, while wandering over the student field sites we found some naked men. Thankfully, the Naked Man orchid (also generously known as the Italian man orchid). Good spot @kofitim.bsky.social - you have a good eye for these things! Nice hat too

Zambia has experienced bad recent droughts: our new paper @mrozelizabeth.bsky.social shows future climate will change annual Barotse flooding. Reds = decreasing flood duration and, well, there are no blues. Impacts already seen with Kuomboka ceremony shifting later/cancelled tinyurl.com/yc5u48ej

Another gorgeous field day surveying the Yorkshire #beavers. Laser scans, UAV surveys, a bit of dGPS where trees allowed and some iPad LiDAR surveys too. That's the 7th annual survey complete. Loads of activity... and look! I think I stumbled on a beaver workshop?

Lovely to see a release of beavers into the wild in England… especially today on my annual beaver survey day of the #Yorkshire Beavers. Amazing changes here over 6 years… maybe next year the change will be that the fences have gone!

Time-lapse trail cameras… not just for wildlife! 📸 Chuffed to share this Tools of the Trade article in @natrevearthenv.bsky.social, highlighting how we can capture glacier calving to better understand rates and drivers of ice loss. 📖 rdcu.be/eaj20 @envleeds.bsky.social @yes-dtn.bsky.social

Lovely to be part of group meetings in Lusaka for the CIHR healthcare access project. We planned local/national dissemination, pulling together key messages across this wonderfully friendly, diverse and international team. Ranging from flood modelling to focus groups to tackle this complex challenge

Back in Zambia for a set of final project dissemination meetings in Lusaka. But a chance to stop by a #fluvial #geomorphology global highlight! The mighty Mosi oa Tunya/Victoria falls gearing up for what we hope is a good wet season this year 🤞🤞🇿🇲🇿🇲

Great couple of days thinking about roughness and geomorphology. Thanks everyone for being so enthusiastic, @geogdurham.bsky.social for funding and @houseago.bsky.social for organising.

What does 50 years’ worth of geomorphological knowledge look like? A full compilation of @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social the ESP&L print run saved from recycling… ahead of the annual BSG meeting here in Leeds celebrating exactly this milestone. On 16th-18th Sept: pop it in your diaries now!

Megan Klaar and Mark Smith @geomorphmark.bsky.social joined The Wild podcast from Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska. They discussed their research about the melting glacier and its incredible effects on the area's ecosystems. Listen here: www.thewildpod.org/episodes

Scouting field sites for teaching in Tenerife… but no better way to cover lots of ground than a nice long run. This is my official reason for the run at least… 😬🌋🌲🏃‍♂️

Great to finally hear the excellent podcast produced by the team that followed us into some remote Alaskan rivers this summer. Highly recommend THE WILD with Chris Morgan - we had an absolute blast with them looking at the changes in Glacier Bay National Park. open.spotify.com/show/6fjDWY0...

#Malaria remains a "formidable challenge" in latest WHO World Malaria Report - cases rise by 11 million in 2023, even increasing as an incidence rate per 1000 population. That's 263 million cases of malaria... www.who.int/teams/global...

It was a privilege to spend a two summers visiting Glacier Bay NP in Alaska to survey the in-stream wood and effects on river geomorphology/ecology with Megan Klaar, Sandy Milner and @lawrenceeagle.bsky.social. See Megan's new paper! Free downloads for 50 days! authors.elsevier.com/a/1k6ciErXCM...

When we did this rather silly comparison picture highlighting glacier retreat in Norway over the last 140 years... I don't think any of us expected it to make it into a news story on the NRK website 😂. Such is life! I ❤️the scratchy image they have at the top: www.nrk.no/klima/brefor...

I made a starter pack of those voices speaking to all things geomorph/glacio/geo/earth sci. Follow them if it's of interest. Will update as the site grows #earthsci #geomorphology #physgeog #science #glaciology go.bsky.app/ME4GNao

#Hydrology and #geomorphology can help us better understand environmental suitability for #malaria transmission. I’m excited to give this BSG seminar in two weeks with examples of our research from the last decade. That pic of me itself is at least a decade old 😂

Hello Bluesky! Thought I should kickoff with some actual blue sky… work posts can wait for now, unless you want a nice picture of some online marking instead.
