That’s a wrap for #BSG25 @universityofleeds.bsky.social. Thanks to Jonathan, Mark and the wider organising team for a fantastic week covering a wide range of geomorphic processes. Thanks also to Wiley and ESPL, it was a pleasure to celebrate 50 years. See you all next year in Lincoln!

Today we share our first edition of #ESPLMemoriesAt50. To celebrate the 50th year of Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, we have been in touch with our fellows to find out how ESPL has influenced their scientific journey. Please join in and share your own experiences with us!

It gave a young PhD student the greatest pleasure to be able to publish in the first volume of Earth Surface Processes. Our paper showed how hydraulic conductivity in frozen soils declines below 0 °C. The paper still gets cited regularly! #ESPLMemoriesAt50 - Prof. Tim Burt, Durham University

A PhD student applied the ecological concept of alternate states to river corridors in the Colorado Rocky Mountains that have old-growth vs managed floodplain forest. She found substantial differences in geomorphic & ecological characteristics and we were excited about the study. #ESPLMemoriesAt50

My office for an hour to let grant thoughts percolate and organise a little bit! If I go for long enough the grant will write itself right??
