An unexpected benefit to visiting aforementioned supervisor is the scenic post-lunch runs around West Kirby

Despite train cancellations, I’m on my way to @liverpooluni.bsky.social to visit my geodesy-supervisor! Do quite enjoy working on the train these days

Are you an early career researcher in geophysics or astronomy? Come to our event in London in two weeks!

Give my supervisor a listen, as he excellently explains the south Atlantic anomaly in the geomagnetic field 🧲 🌍 @bgs.ac.uk

Very excited to be at the #DeepDyn dynamos in a nutshell workshop at @mpsgoettingen.bsky.social ! The most exciting thing, of course, is to learn how to use the #MagIC dynamo code. 🌍 Second most exciting thing is having vegan currywurst for lunch! 🌭

Bird flu surges and a government shutdown collide, complicating efforts to track cases and protect flocks.

🧑‍🔬 Are you an early career researcher?🧑‍🔬 If so, we'd love for you to attend our early career event next month. It will feature a careers panel, networking opportunities and a discussion about the importance of effective communication for sharing research. Book your spot at: ras.ac.uk/early-career...

Cycling out and home from the @bgs.ac.uk Lyell Centre is a pleasure this time of year 🌈🌅

Calling students from 14 - 19! BGS & @bas.ac.uk are offering a 2 week virtual work experience event from 27 to 31 October. We hope this will introduce students to the wonders of Earth sciences & the fascinating & varied careers available. Apply: sites.google.com/view/ctcport...

Published in #GJI Geophysical Journal International: "A recent interruption in the 6-year oscillation in length-of-day", Madsen & Holme. This is Fig. 1: read the paper at academic.oup.com/gji/article/... @oxfordacademic.bsky.social @royalastrosoc.bsky.social

🌍New Paper Alert🕰️ Our paper "A recent interruption in the 6-year oscillation in length-of-day" is finally out in #GJI @rasjournals.bsky.social. Did you know that the length of a day changes every day? We use this information to look at Earth's core. #OpenAccess link here: doi.org/10.1093/gji/...

A little geodetic content from Lisbon for @hughpumphrey.bsky.social - found this pillar in the castle! Presumably a benchmark of some kind

We are expecting an increase in geomagnetic activity over the next few days due to increased solar activity. A coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to arrive this evening making STORM periods likely, potentially peaking at moderate (G3) or strong (G4) levels.

First day of #IAGAIASPEI25 done! It was so exciting hear about so much cool science today 🌏🧭🧲

Arrived in Lisbon last night, super excited for #IAGAIASPEI25! …now I’m just waiting for KLM to bring my luggage to Lisbon as well… (Pastel de Nata to pass the time)

Looking for funding for your outreach project or studies within astronomy and geophysics? We’re now accepting applications for our August grants round. Learn more about the criteria and the application process at the link below ⤵️ ras.ac.uk/awards-and-g...

The amazing #Geophysics Treasure Hunt resource, developed by Esther Bull, is now available as an Open Educational Resource! It was a delight to supervise Esther, and I think the outcome was excellent! #Outreach #OER #OpenEducation

📢 Leadership Update from SAGES!🌍 We’re thrilled to announce that Professor Brice Rea from the University of Aberdeen has been appointed as the new Director of SAGES, taking over in July 2025.

Such a good talk from @sfarleycharlie.bsky.social and Esther Bull on OERs - particularly for use as authentic assessment!

Very excited for this talk!!

Looking forward to presenting this today with Esther, who’s own final project is currently being adapted to go up onto our Open.ed showcase and Tes.com curated collection.

It’s #Conference time once again! This time, specifically on Assessment and Feedback at the @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social Learning and Teaching conference!

Great video from my supervisor, Ciarán, on the largest recorded solar storm observed in western recorded history!

At long last, our paper on modelling geomagnetic jerks is published in its final form📔: doi.org/10.1016/j.pe... Here, we use the @esa.int #Swarm satellites to investigate the Earth’s outer core. We find that geomag. jerks are associated with core-surface pulses, which allows us to predict them!🌏🧲🧭

For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn» En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på. Veldig fin video Oslo Pride🌈

I have branched out from my usual academic ventures, and have published a blog on teaching! We used the Action Feedback Protocol, developed at @heriotwattuni.bsky.social, to empower the student voice in the assessment feedback experience. You can read our experience of it here 🙂 #AcademicSky

The 2025 SAGES Annual Science Meeting in Stirling has been great! Thanks so all who came along and presented. It's been a wonderful two days in Stirling.

A really nice piece on the Geomagnetic field 🌍🧲🧭

Was very happy to deliver a workshop on #Outreach and #WideningParticipation at the @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social E4 DTP 2nd year residential last week! Am very grateful for that opportunity, especially as it has only been one year since I completed that training myself!

Super happy to be at the @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social #GeoSciences #Gradschool Forum today! It’s definitely my highlight of the academic year, where the whole postgraduate community gets together from such a diverse set of fields!

The "&c &c" here includes geophysicists. Industry wants 2--3 times as many as UK universities produce ( doi.org/10.1093/astr... ) . I train some of them. I see them go into good, useful jobs. #Edinburgh Uni's Peter Mathieson is using his efficiency drive to kill the geophysics degree off.
