Great to visit @unisouthampton.bsky.social to deliver a seminar on my recent and soon-to-be published work @leverhulme.ac.uk funded work on oxbow lakes. Lovely to be back in Southampton after a 10 year hiatus (since the legendary @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social dinner at sea, @drchrishackney.bsky.social)

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

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
