Really cool to hear about @lisamol.bsky.social's work after not crossing paths in a loooong time. Many congrats on the award, Lisa!

Celebrating the Gordon Warwick award by Prof @lisamol.bsky.social this morning. Very inspiring to see Lisa’s research on heritage geomorphology in conflict zones, highlighting her outreach initiatives and the importance of partner organisations #BSG25

It was fun to chat to folks about my work on the #RACC project which seeks to better understand interactions and controls on pollutant dispersal associated with historic coastal landfills in the UK at #BSG25

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.

BSG Geomorphology @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social · 19d

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

It's that time of year again, time for the annual @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social conference. A nice easy travel across from Hull this morning, but still an early start #BSG25

Great to get my first glimpse of Tilbury this week. Welcomed with a burnt out speed camera, so knew this site would provide the goods. Plenty of glass and crockery amongst other interesting finds. Look forward to collecting more samples here

A great few days in #LymeRegis collecting sediment samples to assess the impact and risk posed by an eroding coastal landfill - 80+ samples retrieved and excited to see what they tell us once we get them in the lab! #RACC

Always a bit of a bummer when your crucible explodes during a loss-on-ignition run and contaminates the other 15 samples 🙃 #LabworkWoes
