This week marked the first in-person gathering of the Geoscience and Offshore Wind Joint Industry Programme, a collaboration between Geosolutions Leeds, RWE, SSE Renewables and Vattenfall; at the @geolsoc.bsky.social offshore wind ground modelling conference.

Yorkshire researchers warn on looming loss of vital carbon sink and wildlife havens Formed as mud and silt are washed onto the land by coastal tides, the UK’s saltmarshes are thought to store around five million tonnes of carbon.

Today's environment page lead: Yorkshire researchers warn on the looming loss of the vital carbon sink and wildlife havens that are the UK's saltmarshes.

Great to chat to @michaelcrossland.bsky.social at the Yorkshire Post about the vital role that saltmarshes play in storing carbon. In today's paper with comment from @proftashabarlow.bsky.social and me.

Well as it appears this is now very much the place to be, I thought I’d better log back in. And see I’ve got nearly 700 followers despite not really being here! πŸ‘‹πŸ» all. I’ll try and engage a bit better.

Logging off for some much-needed downtime, until 2nd January. If you are celebrating Christmas, I hope you also have a good festive break.

Hoping to take a couple of in lieu days later in the week, so the inbox 'won' (well, after I made a cup of tea and spoke to my Mum ☺️)

After 2+ years since floating the idea, including a knockback, and a lot of time and effort by a big team - major funding proposal submitted. Time for a lie down (or catch up with my exploding inbox....). Big thanks to Water@Leeds for all the support.

So proud of Oliver Pollard, getting his very first academic published today, as part of RISeR - an absolute testament to the high quality of his research:

"Quantifying the uncertainty in the Eurasian ice-sheet geometry at the Penultimate Glacial Maximum (MIS 6)"

Sorry I am totally ignoring any emails at the moment. Email yesterday that suggested we try and submit a funding proposal early due to anticipated software issues, has slightly sent me into overdrive this week. I will come back to you next week (once I have had a long lie down!).

Interested in the timing of Quaternary environmental change; want to pioneer a new chronological framework; like lab work? Come & do a PhD with us, plus Christine Lane of Cambridge + Dutch colleagues, developing a NW European regional tephra chronostratigraphy.
