Please nominate! That geoscientist that you think is so awesome has no chance to win an award/medal if they're not nominated! In Geomorphology we have the Outstanding Early Career Scientist award (www.egu.eu/awards-medal...) and the Bagnold Medal (www.egu.eu/awards-medal...).

Too true, especially 13 hours in economy on Air China. Now I have 8.5 hours in the lounge in Beijing, which sadly does not have signature cocktails (or any cocktails)...

This was my first go with the cocktails! On the other flights I had to pick up a rental car on the other side, so had to abstain. I was missing out!

Like everything here! I've never had such easy airport experiences as here. International coming and going and two domestic flights, and I think I've spent less than 5 minutes total in line. Leaving plenty of quality time for the lounges 😁

Here we go: 13 hours to Beijing. Starting off pretty happy after a series of lovely signature cocktails in the AirNZ lounge 🍸

Anywhere in Europe? Or have you narrowed it down a bit? Definitely get some Eurrail passes! Or whatever they're called these days.

Also a very lovely last day in NZ 😍 Some nice memories to sustain me on the 33 hour trip back to Paris 😬

Yep, last night until the next time! I'm always really happy to spend time here - beautiful landscapes, super geomorphology, lovely people, good food, looking forward already to another trip someday!

Thanks though, always very nice when people come to help!

Thanks, was afraid of that. I emailed our IT license people, hopefully they can make that happen quickly...

In the license log, it has an lss value for a checked out license for 30 days on the 16th, and then today it says it "deleted the lss.dat file as a task of clearing session state" for the portal. Then it switched to offline mode = false. I've done nothing differently today vs. the past 10 days...

Thanks, but no effect, unfortunately. It sees that I have a license checked out somewhere, but doesn't recognize it on the machine where I checked it out. So I can't open the software at all.

Anyone have any ideas how to get out of the doom loop? I'm very far from the office, with limited connectivity, and really need this work asap...

Love it when your ArcGIS license dies while you have an urgent deadline. Doesn't recognize my checked-out offline license, and I can't sign in because the "account has been configured to use in offline mode on some other device." Which is this device! Where I've been using it for the past 2 weeks 🤯🤬
