Pleased to share my book review for ‘Meandering Streamflows: Patterns and Processes across landscapes and scales’ has now been published online in Geoscientist magazine @geoscientistmag.bsky.social

So we're slightly late to the party given that the big news dropped a month ago, but here's a full hour of the #TerribleLizards #Podcast where @iszi.com and I talk about #Nanotyrannus and what it all means for T. rex and tyrannosaur research going forwards. terriblelizards.libsyn.com/nanotyrannus

Ice shell thinning on small icy satellites in the outer Solar System can cause subsurface oceans to boil, according to a study in Nature Astronomy. This process may help to explain surface features and geological activity on moons such as Saturn’s Mimas and Enceladus. go.nature.com/3JVCJ2p 🔭 🧪

On 24 November 1859, ‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection’ by Charles Darwin was published, introducing the idea that species evolve through natural selection. It reshaped biology, palaeontology, and our understanding of Earth’s deep history.

Thanks ol’ Charlie boy! 💚👏

Just a few million years after the end-Permian mass extinction event, aquatic reptiles and other vertebrates had recovered to form thriving and diverse oceanic ecosystems, according to a Science study of an Early Triassic-age fossil site in the Arctic.

New paper out today assesses the potential for in-situ CO₂ mineralisation in UK onshore igneous rocks. The findings suggest a far larger storage capacity than previously thought, with major implications for decarbonisation planning.

A new study by Sereno et al. (2025), published in #Science, reveals astonishing details from two “mummified” #Edmontosaurus #fossils found in Wyoming, including fleshy midline crests, tail spikes, and incredibly, hoof-like toes!

Seems sensible to me… Earth scientists are planetary scientists after all! 🤷🏻‍♂️🌍

Imagine compressing Earth’s 4.6 billion year history into a single day. Humans appear in the final second, and in that instant, we alter the atmosphere more than all biogeochemical processes did for millions of years.
