I don’t have words to express how honoured I am to be receiving the President’s Award from @geolsoc.bsky.social. It reflects the support, insights, and lessons gifted to me by so many people, so I want this to be an opprtunity to thank them…for everything ✨ www.geolsoc.org.uk/news/geologi...

The news about students seeking compensation from universities for COVID teaching has made me quite sad. I can't say what happened at those universities, or what those student's experience was. My present university did not appear to be in the list. But what I can say is...

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Geoscientist Magazine as part of their "Five Minutes With..." series, chatting about my recent projects, and reflections on science more broadly. You can access the full interview available here: geoscientist.online/sections/fiv...

Join us next Wednesday (4th Feb) at 19:00 (UK time) for a webinar by Dr. Alice Paine @alicerpaine.bsky.social In this talk we’ll look at whether very large eruptions can be treated as scaled up versions of moderate volume historical eruptions or whether they should be treated as fundamentally...

I appreciate this from @us.theconversation.com by Jonathan Paul. However, I think it’s making a mistake I commonly hear geologists make with regards to current events. I have a hunch that this mistake is one of the reasons geology programs are struggling 🧵🛠️🪨🧪 theconversation.com/greenland-is...

Do you hold an EU or Swiss passport and speak English fluently? Your help will be needed at #EGU26! Our conference provider and partner Copernicus is looking for conference assistants. 👉 Apply here by 5 January 2026: egu.eu/4DNZDO 📸 Florian Heine on #imaggeo

An explosive #eruption of Hayli Gubbi #volcano, located SE of Erta'Ale in the Afar Rift (Ethiopia), began at ~08:30 UTC on Nov 23. Eruption onset was fortuitously captured by a @planet.com overpass at 08:31 UTC. Hayli Gubbi has no record of Holocene eruptions. Toulouse VAAC reporting ash to ~15 km.

~100,000 years of rainfall… 💦

One of the friendliest, well-organised, and completely inspiring conferences I’ve ever been to. What a privilege it is to be a part of this community. To the organisers, hosts, and participants of #IAVCEI2025, I cannot thank you enough 🌋🖤

First time at #EGU, and certainly not my last. What an incredible event, and what a beautiful city Vienna is ✨

🌦️ New Paper 🌦️ Loved being a part of this study led by Alistair Morgan, and where we explored how climate may have impacted ancient civilisations in the Marmara region during late Holocene: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🌴🌊 New Paper 🌊🌴 It's been a long time coming, so I'm thrilled to share our new study - where we assessed whether shifts in local hydroclimate produced measurable changes in how Hg has been transported to, and buried within, the Lake Bosumtwi system since ∼ 96 ka... cp.copernicus.org/articles/21/...

Cool opportunity to work with a great team on a fascinating topic (and one very close to my heart!) this summer 🌊 🪨

🌋 New Paper🌋 A true pleasure to work with @fabianwadsworth.bsky.social on this: a study I'm delighted to now be able to share. Huge thanks must go to the editor and reviewers at JAV, for their swift and professional handling of our manuscript throughout 🙏 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Got myself a PhD 🎓✨

Honoured to have been given a two-page spread in this term’s @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social Magazine to reflect on my PhD work, and what it means for our understanding of the Earth system 🌍 Also, check out some of the other amazing articles 👇🏼 www.earth.ox.ac.uk/sitefiles/ea...

This is one of the ways we show up for each other, to build community and strengthen our networks while. Science is an iterative, collaborative practice. To the people reviewing right now: thank you. To the people who suggest reviewers when they can't review: thank you.

I had the pleasure of working, and publishing, with some truly ace research teams in 2024 - on topics ranging from speleothems, to volcanoes, to wildfires, to Quaternary climate change 🌍 Here are some highlights, with links in case you fancy having a read:

🔥 New Paper 🔥 First first-author paper for Ruth Kiely, in collaboration with Will Gosling and Crystal McMichael at the University of Amsterdam. Co-supervising Ruth throughout her MSc has been a true privilege, so I’m thrilled to see this published 🙌🏼 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Home for Christmas…Yorkshire at dusk 🍂☁️

We are excited to announce our Department will be hosting a series of new #PhD studentships, starting from Oct 2025! 🥳 The studentships will be in the field of environmental science, working on topics at the heart of some of the most pressing societal challenges #EarthScience

Hello! Having recently just joined BlueSky, and been almost entirely absent on X over the past few months, I feel a re-introduction is needed! 🙌🏼 So, here is a little more about me, and the science I am (and have been) doing… THREAD: (1/n)

3 months since I moved to Switzerland…but this view never fails to stop me walking, even just for a moment 🤍❄️

The application is now open for paleoCAMP 2025 (Paleoclimate Training in Climate Archives, Models, and Proxies)! For graduate students in any area of paleoclimatology, our 2 week summer school is timescale agnostic and multidisciplinary - please apply or share widely! paleoclimate.camp/apply

Join our Session at #EGU25 Today, humanity is becoming increasingly vulnerable to an increasing range of environmental extremes. We will explore how different environmental catastrophes have affected the Earth's system over the past two million years. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...
