Had a fantastic few days at #BSG25 in my old stomping ground of Leeds. Always fun meeting new people and catching up with friends! I am grateful to have had the opportunity to share some of my PhD work and receive valuable feedback and advice for the final sprint of my PhD.

The final session of #BSG25 focused on rivers 🌧️ including beaver restoration, oxbow lake geomorphology, the impacts of rewilding and controls on river flow sensitivity!

A great few days at #BSG25 where I got the chance to showcase my @leverhulme.ac.uk funded work on oxbow lakes - hopefully out in publication form soon.

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!

For our final morning in Leeds, we had two sessions covering a wide range of geomorphology from dryland channels to glacial landforms and the interestingly named murdlins to coseismic landslide prediction and mapping and the potential to use sonic geomorphology for ecosystems ☀️❄️🌧️🏔️ #BSG25

Starting this afternoon with Linton Award winner, Prof Dave Thomas (@oxfordgeography.bsky.social), a fantastic summary of the evolution of dryland aeolian research over the last 50 years from hand mapping to AI. A talk filled with dunes, dating and fieldwork. Thanks Dave. #BSG25

A session filled with models! Great range of talks on landscape evolution, from uncertainty and new statistics to measure model performance, estimates of future sediment transport in Scotland, asymmetric glaciation as a control on drainage divides to divide asymmetry on Mars and its link to process.

Excellent Michael Kirkby award talk given by Wren Raming to kick off the second day of #BSG25. Wren showed how rock strength, drainage area and flood size control waterfall stability on the Hawaiian Islands. You can read Wren’s paper here:
