Good entertainment for my flight this morning - love the discussion around ‘exciting science jobs’ actually turning out to be ‘email, misery and office politics’…….🤣

Great to see this online - investigating offshore carbon transport in the 2016 Kaikōura event bed! Thanks to an awesome group of authors (including @profbobhilton.bsky.social), led by Katie Maier 😊 New area for me so I learned a lot in the last 6 months 🌊🧪https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2025.119241

Even if there’s no acute crisis of trust in science, we shouldn’t minimise the disproportionate impact vocal minorities who distrust science may have on policy and society.

First run commute for the new year, still finding new trails to explore on the way - like this little one that includes a tiny plank to cross the (currently dry) stream! Lovely day for it, sunny and calm, good escapism from a chaotic world ☀️ #runsky

Today’s run featured a >193,000 yr old maar (Lake Pupuke), one of the oldest volcanic features in Tāmaki Makaurau, and a lovely view of Rangitoto, the youngest (and largest) volcano in the Auckland volcanic field (~1500 yrs). Plus some angry swans for added excitement!

Managed to sneak in a run to the beach this morning before the rain arrived. Lovely outcrops of Miocene(?) sediments along the shore, and stunning views of Rangitoto volcano offshore. Pretty good start to the day! ☀️🏃‍♀️

Attending the Blue Talks event today in Ōtautahi, some very interesting points raised in the opening remarks so far: "The current ways of thinking are failing us" "We need to centre the voices of local communities, indigenous nations, and youth" "What happens on the land, happens to the ocean" 🌊

Offshore wind developers said seabed mining is incompatible with offshore wind. Luxon puts seabed mining into fast track list. Offshore wind firm abandons plans for NZ. So NZ forfeits cheap renewable energy for seabed mining (that will face enormous opposition) newsroom.co.nz/2024/10/24/o...
