Here are the eight disciplines. TRAM-Bowling is funny but I think my favorite is TRAM-Curling.

Day 08 of #septempera - a frog going though some stuff. Wanted to do something moodier and misty but the cooler tones got away from me and the painting got a bit too dark so I added some pastels.

Seeing an outcrop IN PERSON after reading about it/ seeing photos is pretty awesome 🙌🏼 I’ve been focussed on this area as a case study for mixing and mingling textures since the start of my PhD … SE Iceland 🇮🇸 🌋 is spectacular! #LASI7 #IAVCEI

In some cases, the core may be unique and irreplaceable, especially where land has since been developed or reclassified. Maintaining a reference library of boreholes enables future research to take place using new techniques, saving time, reducing costs and limiting the environmental impact.

And so the adventure begins! Cambridge —> LDN —> Reykjavík 🇮🇸 Homemade poster tube in tow. Looking forward to the LASI 7 conference and meeting fellow volcano enthusiasts! 🌋🇮🇸 #LASI2025 #VIPS #IAVCEI @iavcei.bsky.social

St Kilda Quartz from pegmatitic veins in a mixed magma complex 🌋 I got to take this video with a specialist high def microscope camera 📸 whilst working with NMS @bobgooday.bsky.social and @scottishagates.bsky.social recataloguing the St Kilda collection 🌋 @scottishgeology.bsky.social

More weird geology and cool clouds from a day out in the Highlands of #Iceland in July 2023. #AwesomeFoursome

Good morning! Can you spot the seals? Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion

🌍💫 Geology pilgrimage complete! Just made it to Siccar Point aka the holy ground of Geology! 🙌🏽 James Hutton would be proud!!!

The geology of the Sliabh Liag peninsula is spectacular. Irelands highest sea cliffs! Metamorphosed dalradian metasediments with extreme recumbent folding, vertical strata and some impressive metamorphic textures (syntectonic). Tá an t-ádh orm a bheith i mo gheolaí! #geology #ireland #donegal

The past two weeks I’ve been learning the Irish language during an intensive beginners course with Oideas Gael @oideasgael.bsky.social In the beautiful Dún na nGall🔰 Táim ag foghlaim Gaeilge agus tá cúpla focal agam #irish #gaelige #donegal

The Isle of Arran has officially been announced as a UNESCO Global Geopark! 🎉 UNESCO’s Global Geoparks are areas with internationally important landscapes & bring together other aspects of heritage such as archaeology, history, culture and biodiversity. www.bgs.ac.uk/news/isle-of...

Our field guide was a bit woolly with their rock descriptions!

So lovely to meet you! Disabled folks in STEM need to be included in conferences, field work, research culture and research spaces 🙌🏼 So much knowledge and exciting STEM research to share. ♿️

Met another wheelie scientist here at the PhD programme symposium I'm attending - so great to see wheelie folks doing STEM. During my PhD all my disabled activist friends were in Disability Studies (which is awesome!) but I missed having fellow disabled STEM folks. Barriers keep so many of us out.

‘It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade’ ☀️❄️ - Charles Dickens, Great Expectations (1861)

I am physically disabled. I have to use a wheelchair and/or crutches to move around. During my Bristol MSc I was unable to partake in essential research for my project - due to poor access - thus limiting my thesis Bristol is taking no responsibility for this. I’m at a loss as to what to do.

✨ We have EIGHT amazing summer internships with our National Capability for Global Challenges scheme! Work with UKCEH scientists on topics like ozone pollution, modelling, satellite imagery, soil health & more. 🔗 Apply by 2 April: www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/... 🧪🧵 1/ Please share widely!

Geology of Scotland - pretty breathtaking 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 2020 adventures on wheels. #scotland #geology #highlands

Geology is absolutely beautiful. Ripple marks, cross bedding and many more sedimentary features from a solo excursion in 2017. Photos from kata-juta national park #Australia #geology #outback #uluru

A monumental win to be standing back on the hockey pitch after six arduous years of fear. I can’t believe I’m able to be a hockey coach - a huge achievement to start the year ♿️❤️‍🩹

MSc volcanology 🌋 Officially graduated 🎓✅ It was an extremely difficult year marred by accessibility issues. ♿️ However, there were so many moments of joy - learnt a lot and met fantastic folks! 🌋✨

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) page for Diversity and Inclusion policies is also is also gone. Same for their Diversity Council. What a sad week. What a weak and fragile elite.

For #TombTuesday, one of the hundreds of megalithic dolmen tombs that scatter the landscape around the village of Ellés, Tunisia. In spring they are surrounded by carpets of white, yellow and purple flowers. 📸 My own, March 2024 #archaeology #photooftheday

Thank you! Just really keen for advice so I can put together a good letter that my previous university can read and, hopefully, action changes. I’m desperate for the way they do things to change for the good of future students!

I am reaching out to the #geoscience community - I need help. My MSc thesis was curtailed due to being unable to even access the building @ my previous university♿️ they provided no alternative. They’ve taken no responsibility for this #discrimination after I submitted an appeal.

This time last year I was getting ready for the trip of a lifetime to Guatemala to study volcanoes & hazards with @bristolvolcanology.bsky.social 🌋 . We were so lucky to meet local folks and hear their stories, positive and negative, about their experiences with volcanoes. #volcanoes #guatemala

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

Great time at #VMSG_MDSG25 so far 🌋 Listening to interesting talks, perusing posters, seeing old pals and making new ones. Trying tayto crisps and enjoying a Guinness or Beamish (or two) 🍻 Good first day I’d say ✅

We have now created our VMSG starter pack, feel free to share amongst your networks & keep adding your suggestions for students, staff & alumni to include!

Life seemed hopeless after my accident. ♿ I would not have completed my undergraduate degree if it were not for the incredible support of the Geology Department of the University of Aberdeen and the geoscience community 💟 www.abdn.ac.uk/news/22040/ @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social

These things here are emergency wreck buoys, and if you're thinking the colour scheme looks somewhat like a circus big top, just wait until you hear about the clown show that inspired their introduction.

Night night sweet dreamies Your time and your feelings are just as valuable as anyone else's. Focus on the good, let go of the rest. Be kind to yourself ❤️

One day I will post something without typos, but today is not that day lol. But anyway, please share this post, especially with geoscience workplaces outside of academia, or people that have left the geoscience workforce due to access issues. Those groups will be harder the reach than academics.
