I have had the honour of spending the last week with 20 fabulous students on the #IAS International Summer School of #Sedimentology 2025. @sedimentology.bsky.social @makingripples.bsky.social @willemjanblom.bsky.social @sosbangor.bsky.social @bugeography.bsky.social @pietreyniers.bsky.social

Together with 19 PhD students I have been looking at the geology of NW Wales during the #IAS summerschool in sedimentology. With the superb guidence of @makingripples.bsky.social, Dei Huws, @lokier.bsky.social, and Megan Baker it was a unforgettable week. Thanks everyone for the great experience!

Day 3 of the #IAS International Summer School of #Sedimentology & things are getting a little more complex! @sedimentology.bsky.social @makingripples.bsky.social @willemjanblom.bsky.social @sosbangor.bsky.social @bugeography.bsky.social @pietreyniers.bsky.social

This week, our University of Derby #EarthScientists are immersed in the #geology of the Lake District. Fabulous geology, fantastic weather.

Today our University Derby #EarthScientists have been getting stuck into the Silurian of the Lake District. Another fantastic day of sun, rocks and science!

The #EarthSciences team are all set up for the Uni-Search-Day at the University of #Derby. Come and chat with us about how #Geoscience is critical to a #Sustainable future.

Happy Earth Day! www.derby.ac.uk/news/2025/ea...

Over the past few days, our #GeoEnergy MSc students have been out and about looking at a wide range of reservoirs and potential seals in Cheshire and Derbyshire. ⚒️☀️

Some excellent sedimentary structures at the junction of Cecil St and Peel St in Derby courtesy of the burst water main. Thanks to Severn Trent for the 3 day experimental run. #Streetsedimentology

Today, our University of Derby @GeoEnergy MSc students are busy logging core @britgeosurvey.bsky.social

Day 5 sees the wind up of our University of Derby #GeoEnergy field trip. Not a drop of rain but an awful lot of fabulous geology! Well done team!

Today saw the Derby Uni @derbyunigeo.bsky.social field trip with the MSc students on the Great Orme. Limestones, dolomites & sequence stratigraphy. ⚒️

It’s all blue skies on Day 4 of the University of Derby #GeoEnergy MSc field trip. I fear it may be ice cream weather!

A wonderful start to the Derby Uni @derbyunigeo.bsky.social field trip to North Wales with the MSc students - 2 days of sunshine and rocks ⚒️

Today, we are delighted to be hosting a group of A-Level geologists from South Cheshire College.

We will be inviting all @DerbyUni #EarthSciences applicants to join us for a 'taster' activity on our Applicants Day on the 22nd of February. Not applied yet? UCAS deadline is 29th January. Visit our website to learn more about the application process: ow.ly/9kuR50UEMvi

Meet our #EarthSciences graduates! Richard Williams Technical Specialist at VertaseFLI Limited, Technical Specialist at QDS Environmental Limited, PFAS Specialist "I strongly encourage anyone with an interest and enthusiasm for geology and earth science to pursue a degree at Derby."

Right now, in the UK we are producing just 2.6% of our electricity from renewables. This is an abnormally low figure but really brings home the issues with over reliance on wind, the need for more reliable sources of generation and the absolute urgency for increasing electricity storage capacity.

Meet our #EarthSciences graduates! Paige Colling Senior Engineering Geologist, GRM Development Solutions Ltd "The opportunities available at Derby University were excellent, from studying a variety of modules and lecturers with real world experience and their contacts within the industry."

We are delighted to welcome @charlottepriddy.bsky.social to the #EarthSciences team at the University of Derby.
