My new tree decoration has been getting a lot of love in the office today 😍 Even the geomagnetic field likes to be festive!

So live TV is interesting.... especially when no one has told you what animation they are about to show and expect you to explain without being able to see it 🤣

And so European Space Weather Week 2025 begins in Umeå! Starting strong with a beautiful aurora video and some great keynote welcome speeches from a series of high profile people, who happen to be mostly women 😀 #ESWW2025

A solar storm is on the way and may cause a moderate or even strong geomagnetic storm on Monday or Tuesday. Impact is predicted for around 20 UT on September 1, and auroras may be seen further equatorward than usual on Monday and Tuesday night. Here's what you need to know...

Had a great few days discussing all the latest research on the impacts of #spaceWeather at the solar tsunamis final project meeting in Dunedin. So much cool #science!

Now I just need to make the most of the time I have left in a different timezone to most of the people that fill my email inbox...

BGS’s geomagnetism portal, holding data for over 570 observatories across the world, has received a significant update.

The new portal allows users to plot graphs of geomagnetic data, display availability charts & filter by time or location.

@britgeosurvey.bsky.social are looking for 2 geomagnetic data processors

I leave it to you to decide whether working with me is a positive or negative - but it really is a lovely team to work in

We're advertising a 3-year postdoc post on long-term solar activity reconstructions, using data from tree rings, ice sheets, sunspots and spacecraft. Closing date: 4 June.

Had a great time at the @herdman.bsky.social symposium last week. Some really thought provoking talks that all highlighted how important trained #geoscientists are for the global challenges we face. Sadly at the same time as I heard another university geophysics course is about to be shut down...
