@deepseadawn.bsky.social is the chief scientist of Esri and an all-around badass. She's one of a handful of people to dive to the Challenger Deep, and the first person of African descent to do so. She's also a member of the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors for a scientist.

Yorkshire Water fined £733,333 for dumping sewage in a Chesterfield country park stream. Events go back to 2018-2019. Why 8 year wait? Company has 125+ criminal convictions. No exec ever fined/prosecuted. Fines announced in 2024 were later waived. The same likely again

The Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea is almost completely frozen over. Some open water areas still remain off the coast of NW-Estonia but they may freeze in the coming days. Last time the Gulf of Finland has frozen over was in winter 2010/2011, 15 years ago!

The most amazing demonstration of community and humanity 🫶

#OCR has an optional future of food topic in the A Level spec. Nice #geographyteacher resource! I would be interested to know the data for water usage and impacts this has locally. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Great opportunity for grad students and postdocs interested in sea level science — WHOI Summer School, May 17-30

I’m not crying 😢 you are crying 😢…. So moving xx #stunday

The fact that the KCSIE2026 draft on statutory responsibility for #Safeguarding children makes explicit use of Cass for the “gender questioning” children section is absolutely chilling. I urge all educators to respond to the consultation and reject its use. geogramblings.com/2026/02/14/k...

Essential #geographicalskills courses need to be prioritised (worldwide) sign this petition 🖋️ if you are able.

Hilarious from RSPB 🫶

It’s Saturday! Post a cartoon TV series you love.

While responding to the #KCSIE2026 consultation is exhausting, it's a necessary act. As a trans climate science communicator deeply invested in safeguarding children, I needed to voice what I think where it’s strong, where it risks harm, and what I’m asking you to support.

Concerning when EA knows of a site and says it is local council’s responsibility but local councils have no process or strategy. In the early 80s it was completely normal for farms to have ‘dumps’ in dingles and gullies. Bound to impact ground water eventually.

I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school. Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

Nice article on how pet flea & tick treatments end up in rivers: the-european.eu/story-57030/...

Yo, check this one out. Probably Trychopeplus laciniatus, a stick insect that evolved to mimic moss. Found it in the cloud forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

Just going to leave this here

Tesco makes nearly £4bn profit. Nearly 50% of its workforce are on Universal Credit, receiving about £600m a year. Why isn't Tesco paying?

Fantastic graphics and very useful thread for #geographyteacher hazards. Thanks for sharing 🙏

When we trawled data on excess nitrate & phosphate pollution (key drivers of algal blooms) we found agriculture was the primary source in rural areas, sewage in urban areas. As Chowns says, to save our rivers, we need to tackle both. share.google/bLY8yWL1AeIQ...

I’m out of the house!!! Grateful for small things. Off to wish my Mum a Happy 88th, back seat of the car like a child, foot propped on the centre console. Look at that bluesky Bluesky!! ☀️🕶️🌤️

The National Governors Association (NGA) has canceled its annual White House meeting after President Trump only invited Republican governors to the gathering. The yearly meeting is traditionally bipartisan and offers a chance for state leaders to convene with one another and the president.

Good morning.

Some colleagues in my old department in Trondheim are recruiting a PhD candidate in Gender Studies and/or STS on the "Imagining Positive Energy Futures" project. 3 years, fully funded. Norway's a good place to do a PhD and Trondheim's a nice place to live!

History repeating itself? UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it. Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy. Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.
