That’s a wrap for #BSG25 @universityofleeds.bsky.social. Thanks to Jonathan, Mark and the wider organising team for a fantastic week covering a wide range of geomorphic processes. Thanks also to Wiley and ESPL, it was a pleasure to celebrate 50 years. See you all next year in Lincoln!

Great to visit @sterice.bsky.social's new lab yesterday with Takuya Inoue, and to see Lizzie Dingle's experiments.

Congratulations!

📣 New paper: Quantifying river bed roughness.

💧Multiple metrics are required to fully describe river bed roughness.
💧River beds with differing features can be distinguished using roughness data.
💧Potential implications on flow resistance and sediment transport.

Such a pleasure to welcome our students and their supporters to the Department yesterday on graduation day and to celebrate your achievements. We hope you have some great memories of your time with us and we wish you all every happiness and success as you set off on the next stage of your journeys ❤️

Does anyone have any experience with sticking together gravel in a flume? Ideally we want to waterwork it and then stick it in place. Any suggestions for what to use?

Three mugs with the typeset first page of academic papers on them.

Lovely to be able to order first paper mugs for Mel Guirro, Jiao Chen and David Whitfield (@dwhit.bsky.social). Well done!

The Gravel Bed Rivers 10 website is live! Come join us in Aviemore, Scotland, 7-11 Sept 2026.

Niels Hovius giving a talk with EGU Geomorphology 20th anniversary on a slide.

Excellent week at #EGU25 and happy anniversary to @egu-gm.bsky.social! Now it's time for #TrainFromEGU

There's even more - Taís' poster A.106 tomorrow afternoon as well!

Lots of people watching a talk

At #EGU25 PICO 2 now: New approaches to modelling and monitoring sediment transport. Great to see a good turn out. @egu-gm.bsky.social

A slightly blurry photo of green fields, a small sliver of lake and mountains in the background.

Another #Train2EGU almost complete.

A bench in blue pink and white.

Looking forward to being in Vienna soon for EGU. This photo from a previous trip seems appropriate today.

Scottish mountains with a dusting of snow.

Heading home from Skye. Stopped in Aviemore for a productive Gravel Bed Rivers planning meeting. More info to follow soon.

Almost done on Skye 1, student presentations starting soon. It's been a fun week. (Though the weather hasn't been as good as it was the first day.) @geogdurham.bsky.social

We were spoilt yesterday! Sun and blue skies.

Students standing in front of the Quiraing landslides.

Sadly the forecast is looking correct. The Quiraing is still impressive though.

Students sitting in front of the Cullin mountains in Skye. The weather is a bit cloudy.

Day two of the @geogdurham.bsky.social Skye trip. Had great weather yesterday, hope that this afternoon isn't as wet as forecast 😬
