Great to receive this collaborative SAGES x SUPA grant funding update from researchers from Heriot-Watt University, the Lyell Centre, Strathclyde University, and the University of Glasgow.

Great momentum at our second sandpit, where we dove into the first data produced from our interdisciplinary project between @heriotwattuni.bsky.social @unistrathclyde.bsky.social & @uofglasgow.bsky.social Thank you @scotsages.bsky.social and Scottish Universities Physics Alliance for funding us!

Did you know the Earth's magnetic field is not the same everywhere? An interdisciplinary team from University of Strathclyde, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Durham recently conducted magnetic surveys across a large magnetic anomaly along the Highland Boundary Fault near Blairgowrie.

Thank you to Gillian Martin, Acting Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero and Energy for her message to the SAGES Annual Science Meeting 2025. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tou...

📢 Leadership Update from SAGES!🌍 We’re thrilled to announce that Professor Brice Rea from the University of Aberdeen has been appointed as the new Director of SAGES, taking over in July 2025.

It’s always great to hear from the SAGES Small Grant Awardees! This is Jakub who is a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, and part of the SAGES community.

Since moving home to Scotland I’ve really enjoyed connecting with other Scottish researchers including @mastscot.bsky.social members and @scotsages.bsky.social, recently attending SAGES Sci Comm workshop in Oban and the ASM in Stirling. The sci com workshop has definitely influenced me…

Grateful for the SAGES community who contribute to science communication with the media. Dr Simon Cook from the University of Dundee had the opportunity to discuss the Birch Glacier collapse in the Swiss Alps last week.

Congratulations to the following SAGES members who were recognised with awards at this year’s Annual Science Meeting.

The sun was shining at the 2025 Annual Science Meeting in Stirling!

Great to hear from Kasun Bandara, SAGES small grant awardee!

This was a great meeting. SAGES are a lovely community who have welcomed me into science in Scotland.

Really delighted to get the chance to present our research into alleviating climate anxiety among undergraduate students at this ASM. Fantastic welcoming atmosphere and a slew of great talks!

Another great @scotsages.bsky.social conference - a wonderful community producing great science!

Thank you @scotsages.bsky.social for a fantastic Annual Science Meeting. Inspiring research, thoughtful conversations and truly lovely people.

Fantastic couple of days in Stirling with this excellent group of people.

🌿New Podcast Episode: Nature-Based Solutions & Climate Change🎧 We’re excited to share the latest BBC Scotland Scotland Outdoors podcast episode, "Nature-based Solutions and the Changing Climate", featuring Dr @rebeccawade.bsky.social from Abertay University. 🎙️Listen: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

An excellent Friday spent in Glasgow sharing ideas across disciplines - the absolute way forward in addressing environmental challenges. Thanks @scotsages.bsky.social & SUPA for making this collab between @heriotwattuni.bsky.social @unistrathclyde.bsky.social & @uofglasgow.bsky.social possible!

I am in sunny Stirling for this event tomorrow, where I shall be ranting about the state of academic publishing to geoscientists. I notice there are two #sages2025 hashtag events on Bluesky, and am guessing that this isn’t the one that’s discussing colorectal emergencies 🤔

We’re scientists. We’re creative problem solvers. So, when the wine can’t be brought into the poster hall… @scotsages.bsky.social ASM 2025 @stir.ac.uk

Attended my first @scotsages.bsky.social ASM yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed, had planned to take lots of pictures and share my day but I forgot my phone! Thanks to @philipparickard.bsky.social for snapping this pic while I presented!

The 2025 SAGES Annual Science Meeting in Stirling has been great! Thanks so all who came along and presented. It's been a wonderful two days in Stirling.

Brilliant to see Dr Rhian Thomas on BBC Scotland's new #Scotcast podcast - Water Warnings. Rhian was on the SAGES Climate Science Podcast, and it's great to see more opportunities across other media platforms allowing our researchers to share their important work! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
