Interesting thread about the massive blackout we had here in #Spain. As usual with a complex system like an country's energy grid, it looks like a complicated interaction of things. Hopefully lessons will be learned and grids everywhere can be made more resilient and green at the same time!

These articles from back home amuse me. I know, I know, it's different if you're not prepared for it and it is serious, but "this year's record of 29.4C" is literately the lowest daily max we've had here for about a month! I would love a 29 degree day! #Andalucia #Granada 🥵🫠

I love the classic fact that Everest is not the furthest point from the #Earth's centre (due to the fact it's wider at the equator than the poles) but I don't think I'd ever actually seen a pic of the place that is! 🌎🏔️

The #French also sometimes shout #Cocorico! as a celebration/encouragement (le coq sportif and all that), which is very bizarre when you first move to #France and have no idea why they're making this weird sound at you!

Phew, lots of heavy discussion about future positions here today. But also a proposal finished and submitted for approval by the management, and a paper came back with minor corrections. So all in all a good week in academia I guess! 🙂

writing a grant application which involves filling in an online form which generates a Word document to fill in the rest and re-upload. I don't have MS Office on my work pc and the formatting is predictably a nightmare. Grrr! just let me format my own document! Or have everything on the webform!

Obligatory #comet cliff pic re-post ☄️ One of my all time favourite #Rosetta images: a spectacular view of Hathor, a 1km high, near-vertical cliff on #67P's small lobe. Parts of the big lobe are also visible, looking like a deep canyon between them where fine regolith and boulders lie in Hapi

Last Wednesday the Birchgletscher in the Swiss Alps collapsed, devastating large parts of the village #Blatten and blocking the Lonza river which created a small lake. Thanks to aerial images shared by #swisstopo, I was able to create a 3D model of the area. You can explore it here 👉 skfb.ly/pxHLC

Recently agreed to be on a US student's PhD committee, so I just received an email saying I have "been appointed as a Graduate Faculty Scholar in the College of Graduate Studies at the University of Central Florida", which sounds pleasingly fancy 🙂 Looking forward to seeing their interesting work
