Enjoying another beautiful day on NTU #Brackenhurst Campus. Such a stunning environment to work in, especially when the campus is so quiet before terms starts again!

Aug 5th 2025, flash floods due to cloudburst in Uttarakhand, India represent a tragic and complex natural disaster, highlighting the vulnerability of mountainous regions to extreme weather events. The vulnerability to extreme weather events demands urgent focus on resilient infrastructure and EWS.

New job alert! Interested in applied research increasing our understanding of water resilience, nature based solutions and rewilding? @exeter.ac.uk we are looking for a Technical Specialist, working with me and others in Geography and @uoe-creww.bsky.social jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecr...

A catastrophic debris flow (not, as widely reported, a flood) has struck the village of Tharali in Uttarkashi, northern India. The video is truly terrifying. Very initial reports suggest there have been four confirmed fatalities and about 50 people may be missing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVFn...

OpenTopography is excited to announce a major expansion to its international data catalog with the addition of the High Resolution Digital Elevation Model from Natural Resources Canada. This 1-meter resolution dataset is ideal for a wide range of applications. opentopography.org/news/opentop...

🌊 Big flood, deeper danger A huge 2021 flood in the Meuse River carved deep holes (over 15 metres) into the riverbed. A new study shows this was made worse by past changes to the river and hidden soft layers underground. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm #Flooding 🧪

Yorkshire Water becomes first big water company this year to impose a hosepipe ban due to dry conditions - starts 11 July As first revealed by The Times a week ago www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

It's going to take more than a couple of new reservoirs to prevent the UK's coming water crisis, writes hydrologist @hancloke.bsky.social - we need to rethink how we build homes & communities to avoid a future of alternating flood & drought: theconversation.com/englands-wat...

Fantastic fieldtrip this week with NTU geography students looking at flood risk management, the Colwick fish pass and #naturalfloodmanagement around Nottinghamshire. Thanks to the EA & Southwell Flood Forum for their support on the day!

JOB ALERT Exciting opportunity for a Lecturer (equivalent to Assistant Professor) in #PhysicalGeography specialising in #peatland science to join our #Geography department at @uniofmanchester.bsky.social. Full details for the job can be found here: www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

It’s been a while but I’m finally back for #FlumeFriday! Fantastic to use the #Armfield sediment transport flume with NTU geographers to explore bed forms! #geomorphology #rivers

Great the see the updated EA “Working with natural processes to reduce flood risk 2024” is now published - just time to review this for my lecture on this in a couple of weeks! www.gov.uk/flood-and-co... #SlowTheFlow #NFM #NaturalFloodManagment

'A £285 rise to £9,535 will modestly increase the debts of individual students, while doing little to address the overall problem. A new settlement is desperately needed – one that properly restores a sector that delivers a public good to the public realm' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Stunning #sunrise earlier this morning at the Brackenhurst campus at NTU - makes coming into work that bit easier!

Plastic actively affects a #river system, it is not passive! 📿 I wrote a feature article on our research for #Geoscientist in 2023 on “The peculiar processes of #plastic riddled #riverbeds”. We are still learning the extent of plastics #environmental impact. 🌍 geoscientist.online/sections/fea...

We often think of rivers as linear features, but lateral dynamics are just as important and often overlooked! In our paper we present a framework for the study and management of rivers which emphasises lateral connectivity. #floodplainconnectivity #riverrestoration Link to paper shorturl.at/ri3lA

Apparently 'Geographer' is among the highest paid jobs with the least stress, according to Resume Genius. Always good to see the value of a Geography degree recognised, but as a geographer... 🤔 #Geosky www.independent.co.uk/life-style/j...

The festive lights in #Newark were looking beautiful this weekend, a mini illumination display!

The biodiversity, climate, health, water and food crises are interconnected and need to be addressed together rather than regarded as separate issues 🧪 🧵 1/ So says a major report from @ipbes.bsky.social #climate www.newscientist.com/article/2461...

Major floods on the Severn, Teme & Wye Updated in light of another big one on the Wye last week. Current 5 year period 3x more than any previous period in last 30 years. We can either hope it goes away or start adapting. Fast.

100 years of December sea ice. Note that variability is always confined to the outer marginal seas during winter (North Pacific/North Atlantic). Data set available from 1850 through 2017. Summary of methods: carbonbrief.org/guest-post-p...

Lots of #geomorphology to see on the Yorkshire coastline following #StormDarragh
