Loving the dinosaur 🦕 sculptures at Snugburys on the A51. The wildflower meadow looks and smells great too. ⚒️

Our forensic technician, Mohit Mistry, gave up some time on the DerbyUni Video Spectro Comparator to look at some minerals from @derbyuniearth.bsky.social collection. Fluorite/Beryl/Topaz/Opal/Selenite/Opal in transmittedUV 365nm; violet 410nm; floodUV 365nm; white light.

While out in the field looking at rocks with @derbyuniearth.bsky.social 1st year students, it’s always nice to look at other things too. Here I think we have (correct if wrong) Marsh thistle, Common Lousewort, Heath milkwort, Round-leaved sundew, Heath bedstraw, Tormentil & Common cotton-grass.

Four days of geology so far with the Derby Uni @derbyuniearth.bsky.social 1st year students. Siliciclastics, carbonates, contact metamorphism, folded turbidities followed by an into to their mapping area. Sunshine in the Lake District!

It is great to see current A-level students discovering our Environmental Science programmes at Derby University today.

I had a wonderful morning with the DerbyUni environmental assessment and control MSc students @nationaltrust.bsky.social Kedleston Hall lakes planning their experimental design and water sampling strategies.

The final day of the Derby Uni @derbyunigeo.bsky.social field trip with the MSc students took us to Cheshire to discuss fluid flow. ⚒️

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

Today saw the DerbyUni @derbyunigeo.bsky.social field trip with the MSc students visit Anglesey. Critical minerals, sediments and even a tiny bit of glaciation.

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 ⚒️

Day 1 of our University of Derby #GeoEnergy field trip finds us in North Wales….

It was terrific to have a group of Belper School #Geology students visiting the University of Derby #EarthSciences labs to look at fossils, interpret sediments and experiment with the flume.

Today, was ‘inaugural day’ for our newly installed DerbyUni on-campus #geological mapping facility. Our students did a terrific job utilising a range of outcrops to unravel the geological history of their mapping area. @derbyuniearth.bsky.social

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

Application complete. This week saw @cyrilmbachu.bsky.social complete the first application of material in his #EnhancedWeathering #CCUS study. Now we enter the monitoring phase…. @derbyunigeo.bsky.social @derbyuniearth.bsky.social

Yesterday @DerbyUni we had an abundance of #geology. Dr Holly Elliott from @britgeosurvey.bsky.social talked about critical minerals & criticality assessment. Our very own Jordan Phethean then explained “gooey rocks & where they stretch” during his Plate vs Plume talk for non-& geologists. ⚒️

Today, we are delighted to welcome @DrHollyElliott from the @BritGeoSurvey to Derby to tell our #GeoEnergy and #EarthSciences students all about the new UK 2024 Criticality Assessment that was released last week. A terrific lecture clearly demonstrating the huge global demand for #Geoscientists.

Looking forward to this today

Today, the multispectral imaging of my project site where #Enhancedweathering strategy will be deployed for carbon dioxide removal was conducted #CCS. Huge thanks to @annettelokier.bsky.social and @lokier.bsky.social

A beautiful morning to do a multispectral drone survey in @cyrilmbachu.bsky.social research area. #EnhancedWeathering #CCS #CDR

What critical minerals are required to achieve net zero and be #sustainable ? Uni of Derby students can find out more from guest lecturer Dr Holly Elliott, coauthor of this report, this Wednesday at DerbyUni (see T1 corridor noticeboards for more info)

In 2023, geophysicists were listed as 3 of the top 5 jobs on the UK government's Shortage Occupation List that identified gaps in the UK labour market. During your University of Derby #EarthSciences BSc you will be trained to use a wide range of industry-standard geophysics software.
