Delighted to see my @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social colleagues Gideon Henderson (CBE) and Tamsin Mather (OBE) recognised in the New Years honours list published this evening. Brilliant news for them and for Earth Sciences more generally.

Arran weather much kinder today as we explore the igneous intrusions on the South and South-East coast @OxUniEarthScibsky.social 1st years

And away we go.... 1st day in the field for the @oxuniearthSci.bsky.social 1st year field course in Arran. Old Red sandstones to kick off.... slightly inclement weather...

Safely in Troon…. brand new ferry to Arran with the ⁦‪@OxUniEarthSci‬⁩ 1st years!

Heading North! 1st year field course on Arran starts today but a long 12 hours of travel first.

That time of year when my favourite tree in the garden comes into full flower.. Spring is here.

Many congratulations to my colleague Ros Rickaby @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social on her OBE in the New Year Honours list for her Ocean Bug Excellence!!!!
