while the fascist takeover of social media is horrifically bad and ominous, we do still have the internet - and I think that’s still better for our purposes then the days without it, when people only had fascist-controlled TV, radio, and print media to turn to for information

From the wonderful bivalve mollusc ‘tree rings of the sea’ to the case of the missing sediment in the Sn North Sea, then on to the MIS5-4 transition in the North Sea brown bank formation & finally sedimentology & geochemistry going back to explore those ‘older than expected’ RISeR sites

Last hours left to submit abstracts for the 37th International Meeting of Sedimentology #37IMS that will take place in Aberdeen, on 25-27 June. The abstract submission process is really friendly and it takes a moment: abdn.eventsair.com/Presentation... See you in Aberdeen👋
