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!

A terrific first day on the #IAS International Summer School of Sedimentology. Well done team! @sedimentology.bsky.social

And so, it starts! @makingripples.bsky.social kicks off the 11th IAS Summer School of #Sedimentology 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🎓 @sedimentology.bsky.social!

Day 2 of the #IAS International Summer School of Sedimentology saw us entering the Ordovician! @sedimentology.bsky.social @makingripples.bsky.social @willemjanblom.bsky.social @sosbangor.bsky.social @bugeography.bsky.social @pietreyniers.bsky.social

@makingripples.bsky.social summarises the outcomes from the first two localities on Day 2 of the #IAS International Summer School of Sedimentology! @sedimentology.bsky.social @makingripples.bsky.social @willemjanblom.bsky.social @sosbangor.bsky.social @bugeography.bsky.social

On my way to Bangor to co-lead the IAS Summer School of #Sedimentology. Looking forward to spending the next week seeing a massive diversity of sediments and getting to know our students. @sedimentology.bsky.social @makingripples.bsky.social

Yesterday, visited this terrific exhibition celebrating the pioneering work of William and Mary Buckland. Bonus - hosted by one of my favourite places on the planet - @morethanadodo.bsky.social

Join us for the last Seds Online Webinar of the 2024-25 season. Tomorrow, Adam Tomasovych from the Slovak Academy of Sciences will be presenting "Tracing processes in the taphonomically-active zone and inferring condensation on the basis of skeletal preservation" Join us at 4pm (UK time)

Final mapping day for our UG #EarthScientists. Now time to get those maps completed.

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!

Day two of field mapping for our UG Earth Scientists…

Day 4 of the University of Derby Earth Sciences UG field trip sees the students being introduced to their mapping area. The sun shines, the larks sing and the lithologies rock!

In today’s webinar Ana Prohaska will be giving us Evolutionary insights from ancient sediments: Opportunities and challenges of microfossil DNA. See you all at 4pm UK time.

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

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