Had a great time this week sharing our work on geodynamo simulations, catching up with former colleagues, learning about research being carried out in the community, and enjoying the sites of Durham at the 23rd International Couette Taylor Workshop 2025

Accessing the dipole-multipole transition in rapidly rotating spherical shell dynamos

The Earth’s magnetic field is generated by turbulent convective motions of molten iron in the outer core. The field is strongly dipolar, yet the paleomagnetic record shows many polarity reversals, whe...

Really great first day of ARCHER2 Celebration of Science in Edinburgh, presenting my work on High Performance Computing simulations of Geodynamo Dipole-Multipole transitions in a poster and lightning talk.

Lovely trip up to Edinburgh yesterday topped off by a nice walk up to Arthur's seat. All ready for the Archer2 celebration of science today.

This week a group of us completed the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge in support of Leeds Hospitals Charity. Any support for this great cause would be much appreciated. www.justgiving.com/page/anthony...

Looking forward to seeing all of the interesting things people have been doing on ARCHER2, and also sharing our work on geodynamo simulations after our abstract was accepted for Celebration of Science 2025.

Poster abstract submissions to the ARCHER2 Celebration of Science 2025 must be made by *Friday 21 March*. They should demonstrate work on ARCHER2, and focus on the science outcomes and impact achieved.

The Sun! Great to see the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford is open again, I particularly enjoyed the Science on a sphere exhibit.

Excited for the EVERSE Network of Research Software Quality launch event I am attending online this morning.

Really enjoyed today's University of Leeds IGT weekly seminar by Claire Nichols on the history of Earth's magnetic field. Was great to hear about the techniques being used to improve the accuracy of age measurements of paleointensity samples.

Was great to hear about the atmospheric effects of comet impacts at the first University of Leeds Fluids and MHD seminar of 2025 presented by Felix Sainsbury-Martinez.

That feeling when you remember that just because fortran is case insensitive, doesn't mean your C preprocessor directives are!!
D'oh.
