We tried compiling a global database of deposit descriptions of pyroclastic density current deposits. The aim was to help us do big data analysis, look for common trends, and to support modelling.

We got some interesting results but also, found some really significant issues and gaps #IAVCEI2025

What happens when a dense, aerated granular flow encounters a vertical barrier? What night these mean for the behaviours of pyroclastic density currents? Check out Jordan Chenery's poster at #IAVCEI2025

🎤 Today (Thurs 29 May) at 15:00 UK time, I’m giving a Landscapes Live seminar: “Reflections on Success in Academia”.
This will explore ECR challenges, defining success, and its role in climate & equity.

Are you at #EGU25? Come at PICO spot 4.6 now to chat about the fate and legacy or Artisanal Mine Tailings

Hello #EGU25 😃

You were shy of a week into your new job when you flew out to Vietnam I think, with a can-do attitude and even rocking a beard by the end of it 😄

Forever but not everywhere? Unexpected non‐detection of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in major Philippines rivers No PFAS were detected in major Philippines rivers despite reported increases in the Asia-Pacific Region. Sampling programmes typically focus on populated regions and a small number of compounds so ma...

New article 🚨 “Forever but not everywhere? Unexpected non-detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in major Philippines rivers” led by Patrick Byrne at LJM and from our NERC PAMANA project looking at mine legacy in the Philippines. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🚨 all EGU journals have cancelled their Twitter/X feeds 👏👏 But for reasons beyond me have decided not to engage with BlueSky 🤷 - if you’d like a BlueSky presence for your favourite EGU journal - I’d suggest getting in touch with @eurogeosciences.bsky.social (or liking this message?) pls RT 😀👏

Establishing the Hydrological Controls on Water Surface Area Variations in Oxbow Lakes After their formation, oxbow lakes are considered to passively infill with limited hydrodynamic dynamism. Results from 64 oxbow lakes in the Bolivian Amazon Basin demonstrate that the water surface a...

Happy to share that my paper on the hydrological dynamism of oxbow lakes is now out to read - part one of a project that started during lockdown 1.0 and came to fruition through my @leverhulme.bsky.social ECR fellowship 😁

Do you work on #FluvialSystems?

We welcome all those studying fluvial dynamics and their interactions through experimental, field, and numerical modelling approaches to our session at #EGU25

Abstract deadline 15th January 2025 - submit now as an early Christmas present! 😁

Huge congratulations to Dr Quan Le for passing your PhD Viva today 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #NewDr #ProudSupervisor

Ultra-small scale artisan mining at the Itogon river in the Philippines. The river was high after the passing of multiple typhoons

Had a great week in Baguio, #Philippines discussing impacts of modern and legacy #mining on the environment

We are now on Bluesky! ⛅ Follow us for updates from the British Society for Geomorphology

Come follow the greatest society of all time ⬇️⬇️

Ufff good luck. Here it was all fine. Lots of rain but no real disruption

Thanks Katie 😊 it may reach central Vietnam in the next few days, take care if you are still in the country.

Lots of rain and strong winds tonight in Baguio in the eye of a super-typhoon #Man-yi #Pepito
