Heat waves are becoming more dangerous as temperatures and humidity rise. For healthy adults, the critical threshold for safe activity is lower than previously thought—around 88°F with 60% humidity. Staying hydrated and finding cooling spaces are key as heat risks intensify.

Some photos from today's POLENET GIA workshop fieldtrip in British Columbia 🇨🇦👇 We had a great day out, transported in 2 yellow school buses! 🚍 #geology #fieldwork #canada

Another glorious day in Canada 🇨🇦 at the POLENET GIA workshop! There are scientists 🥼🧪from 15 nations 🌎 here in person and another 15 attending online - amazing! We are united in our desire to understand and protect this beautiful planet 🇦🇶🌊🏔❄️ #science #geology #ice #modelling

I'm lucky to be in beautiful Sidney, British Columbia 🇨🇦 👇for the POLENET GIA workshop! Giving an invited talk about #Antarctic ice sheet ❄️🧊history (well, just the last 10k years!!) and my @bas.ac.uk work on Tues. #geology #science

Pollen isn’t just an allergen, it’s a natural time capsule preserving Earth’s environmental history for millions of years. Fossil pollen reveals ancient climates, ecosystems and human impact. Today’s pollen shifts also track #climatechange in real time

Love this❤️👇 Can we do this next Mother's Day @bas.ac.uk?

👀This is so exciting: 1st, Moon dust wow! 🌚🚀🔬 2nd - Prof Anand did his PhD in the office next door and with my supervisor.😆🥼 So proud of you Mahesh!! 👏🧪🥼 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @cambridge-earthsci.bsky.social #geology

An insightful post by my @bas.ac.uk colleague @polarrobs.bsky.social esp relevant after reading this shocking and upsetting article👇 I had higher hopes of Labour 😫 #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I love this photo from our recent #holiday on the UK's beautiful Suffolk coast. A former abbey converted to WW2 lookout, now art installation. A bit of calm in our turbulent world 🎨 🌊

Super PhD studentship opportunity rummaging in some fantastic collections @theul.bsky.social exploring the role of women in curating scientific heritage And we're very happy that the @sedgwickmuseum.bsky.social is a partner in this project #PhD #HistoryofScience #WomensHistory

In the revamped @bas.ac.uk rock store today looking at my volcanic rock samples from #Antarctica 🇦🇶🧪🥼❄️ Everything in here is all shiny and new (except me and the rocks😅)

✔ Took part in the @royalsociety.org Pairing Scheme where I was shadowed by geologist Antarctic scientist at the British Antarctic Survey, Dr Joanne Johnson. (@geologicaljo.bsky.social) Looking forward to my return visit to @bas.ac.uk soon!

In Cambridge, UK? Like art? This #Antarctic 🇦🇶exhibition at @scottpolar.bsky.social looks interesting.... ❄️🎨

Geopolitical conflict impedes climate change mitigation Conflict doesn’t just worsen climate change—it obstructs mitigation. From military emissions to shattered cooperation, war derails climate action. Are IPCC scenarios too optimistic? www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Absolutely blown away by this week in Westminster with @royalsociety.org #pairingscheme25 and @iansollom.bsky.social ! Much to reflect on & such a lovely supportive group all wanting to make a positive difference to the lives of all UK citizens. I feel really valued and proud to be a scientist 😄🧪🥼❄️

It's no great surprise, but nature, the environment and climate change are virtually absent from UK chancellor Rachel Reeves' spring statement. Full thing here: www.gov.uk/government/c...

Back at @royalsociety.org today for #pairingscheme25! Hearing about role of House of Lords & Parliamentary Office for Science 🧪 & Technology. Interesting 👀 I've talked to loads of people this week 😆. Realising that connections are v important! Last night (can you spot me talking #Antarctica ?!) 👇

My key takeaways from today at the @royalsociety.org #pairingscheme25: 🏛 UK Government departments ALL have a science 🧪 office! ✍️ Policymakers don't often read #science journal articles. We must distill our findings in concise ways. 🙈 MPs & policymakers are busy - they need simple messaging.

From Parliament to the science of space debris all in a morning! #pairingscheme25 So much to take in, but I'm feeling more confident that UK Government does care about science. But that we scientists (i.e. me) need to be effective communicators! 👍🧪 @royalsociety.org @bas.ac.uk #science

Today on #pairingscheme25 I am touring UK Parliament, hearing from Gov Office for Science, and playing at being "Policymaker for a day". Should be fun! 🧪😀 @bas.ac.uk @iansollom.bsky.social #science #policy More pics from yesterday at @royalsociety.org 👇

Great day in Westminster shadowing Ian Sollom MP @iansollom.bsky.social . So many interesting sessions to observe, and chats about life as an MP, science, politics. Thanks Ian for all the insights! @royalsociety.org #pairingscheme25 @bas.ac.uk #science 🧪🥼

Here we go....off to Parliament for @royalsociety.org #pairingscheme25 !! 🧪❄️🥼 Shadowing MP Ian Sollom @iansollom.bsky.social Agenda: 🏛Tea with Ian's team 🏫 All Party Parliamentary Group: "Delivering future skills" 🧱 Home Builders' Federation drop in 👀 House of Commons debate @bas.ac.uk

Just arrived in London! Here for the @royalsociety.org #pairingscheme25 3 days learning how science feeds into UK government policy and how we scientists can get involved. And shadowing a parliamentarian! 🧪🏛❄️🥼 Off to a good start with this London-themed choc in my hotel room 😋

A v good read 👇🧪 Scary how the power of a few selfish but powerful individuals could change world order. I know it's happened before but command over space is a truly terrifying prospect 😫🚀🪐🛰 thebulletin.org/2025/03/mars...

Beautiful quilted #climatestripes! #ShowYourStripes www.ShowYourStripes.info

And I'm one of them! So excited for this opportunity to learn about how science and policy interact 😀 🧪 I'm paired with St Neots & Mid-Cambridgeshire MP @iansollom.bsky.social and I'll be shadowing him in Westminster on Monday. Can't wait! @bas.ac.uk #geology #Antarctica

Geology 🪨 meets biology 🕷 😃 A great example of cross-disciplinary science just published 👇 #geology #biology #Antarctica 🇦🇶🥼❄️🧪

1.2 million years - have you heard of ice this old?! 🧊 These ice cores were retrieved as part of the Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice project, which aims to unlock crucial insights into Earth's past climate and atmospheric conditions #ice #climate Read the full story 👇 www.bas.ac.uk/media-post/a...

What does the Weddell Sea in #Antarctica have in common with kidney stones? Read on.... 👇 😅 ❄️🥼🇦🇶🧪 #geology

Some really interesting food for thought in this article ⬇️ I'm going try adding 👀 to my data plots from now on 😆 #geology #sciart 🎨
