Congrats to *Dr* Alice Hardman on defending her PhD Thesis:  “Development and Calibration of 3-Hydroxy Fatty Acid-Based Palaeoclimatic Proxies in Pedogenic and Lacustrine Environments”

#Pembrokeshire 24 highlight: flexing on the flexural slip fault! Now heading home after 9 days of introductory field skills with our enthusiastic 1st year #Geology, Geology and Physical Geography and Palaeontology UG students. Iconic #Palaeozoic rocks #bruminthefield @geology_bham @paleobham

Only a few more days to apply to the Urbino Summer School in Paleoclimate! 9-25th JULY 2024! We have an amazing line-up of instructors this year ;-) urbinossp.wordpress.com ECORD summer school scholarship applications are also now open! www.ecord.org/education/sc... Please share paleo-network ! ☺️

In the Lakes for the my 50th birthday... had to pay my respects. If you know... you know. @lakedistrictnpa @CultOfBritCom

My Lapworth Museum lecture "Crete: Building a Palaeoclimatic Framework for Europe’s Oldest Civilisations" is available here: jamesbendle.wordpress.com/news-2/. Thanks to @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social & @digkabri.bsky.social who inspired a few of the slides! #Climate #Archaeology @csmfht.bsky.social

Tomorrow (Tuesday, 14th Nov, 5:30pm GMT)  I’ll be giving a public lecture on the rich history of ancient civilisations on Crete, and how we are building a detailed climatic history for this unique island.   To watch remotely on Zoom, please register for the webinar here: ow.ly/3Vqx50Q5vfO

I have been collaborating with Dr Mark Kasumovic, an award-winning Canadian artist and academic based in the UK (De Monfort University). Links to his pics from our recent fieldwork in Vietnam and Crete here: jamesbendle.wordpress.com/media-and-ou...
