Happy 3 year gotcha day my beautiful lad

Thrilled to announce that Mike Kirkby, Fiona Kirkby and Stuart Lane have all been awarded Honorary Life Membership of the BSG during yesterday’s Frost Reception. We also welcomed Paul Carling and Malcolm Newson as new Fellows of the BSG. Congratulations all! #BSG25

Great day at #BSG25 in Leeds, with award of 2 @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social Fellowships (Carling & Newson) and lifetime awards for Mike Kirkby, Fiona Kirkby & Stuart Lane in ESPL’s 50th anniversary year. And of course outstanding science from NZ to Swaledale via some poetic potholes. More today!

Celebrating the Gordon Warwick award by Prof @lisamol.bsky.social this morning. Very inspiring to see Lisa’s research on heritage geomorphology in conflict zones, highlighting her outreach initiatives and the importance of partner organisations #BSG25

That’s a wrap for #BSG25 @universityofleeds.bsky.social. Thanks to Jonathan, Mark and the wider organising team for a fantastic week covering a wide range of geomorphic processes. Thanks also to Wiley and ESPL, it was a pleasure to celebrate 50 years. See you all next year in Lincoln!

Thanks to all who joined the AGM this afternoon and to those who provided committee updates. Big thanks go to the outgoing members of the exec @aockelford.bsky.social, @hywelgriffiths.bsky.social, Mattie Biddulph and Lizzie Dingle for their generous contributions.

Ever get the feeling you’re being watched?

Nobody warned me when I got a Labrador it would be stickier than Velcro

We end the week with an unexpected n+3 …….

Today we share our first edition of #ESPLMemoriesAt50. To celebrate the 50th year of Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, we have been in touch with our fellows to find out how ESPL has influenced their scientific journey. Please join in and share your own experiences with us!

It gave a young PhD student the greatest pleasure to be able to publish in the first volume of Earth Surface Processes. Our paper showed how hydraulic conductivity in frozen soils declines below 0 °C. The paper still gets cited regularly! #ESPLMemoriesAt50 - Prof. Tim Burt, Durham University

A PhD student applied the ecological concept of alternate states to river corridors in the Colorado Rocky Mountains that have old-growth vs managed floodplain forest. She found substantial differences in geomorphic & ecological characteristics and we were excited about the study. #ESPLMemoriesAt50

Nothing better in the world than taking the handbrake off a race horse!

My office for an hour to let grant thoughts percolate and organise a little bit! If I go for long enough the grant will write itself right??

Happy 3rd birthday Fizzy Bubbles the First - my shadow, bed hog, cheese snaffler, kitchen disco dancing partner, snuggle buddy, mince pie thief and co-pilot. May today be the day you find all the under the sofa 🎾 🎾 🎾 🎾🎾🎾

Someone is very happy with the left over fruit we had from the conference this week!

Thrilled to have the 2025 @britishhydrosoc.bsky.social Peter Wolf Early Career Symposium here @liverpooluni.bsky.social - 2 days of talks from 60 fabulous early career hydrologists from academia, NGOs, government organisations and consultancy

Is there a better view in the world?

Looking forward to welcoming 60 early career hydrologists to @liverpooluni.bsky.social on Monday where we will be hosting the 2025 @britishhydrosoc.bsky.social Peter Wolf Symposium with a theme of Hydrology in the Community! Lots of exciting science and opportunities to network and share ideas!

Nobody is counting right?

My 🌍

I am very honoured to announce that the @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social has awarded me The Gordon Warwick Award 2025. This award is made annually for excellence in geomorphological research by someone within 15 years of being awarded their doctorate. #geomorphology @uwebristolofficial.bsky.social 🥳

Make sure you register for our upcoming webinar (Monday 14th July 17:30 BST) in connection with Fi Wi Road, it is set to be filled with interesting and thought-provoking discussion!

Seeing The Boss with @drchrishackney.bsky.social

Today didn’t quite go according to plan - he was overly excitable, it was blowing a gale, I was stupidly nervous and ring rusty…. But we did get in the ring and we’ve both come home in one piece - onwards! Still my 🌎

Well I haven’t done this for 23 years!

Life has thrown a health related curve ball so finding something that anchors and grounds everything has been indispensable. My 🌍

My world steadying a very, very wobbly ship!

Errors have been made

Home.

Turns out that in the 4am pre @egu.eu dog walk it’s possible to trip over a cow. In my defence it was a) pitch black, b) she was laying in the path and c) she was black. Xx

Me - please pose nicely in front of the bluebells. Dog ……

Grant submission and paper accepted all within 24 hours means it’s time to quit whilst I’m ahead and spend some with this beautiful soul!
