Still struggling to identify these little beasties. Does anyone on the wonderful world of #pollen #palynomorphs #NPPs recognise these from microfossil slides? They look like #testateamoebae but I'm not too sure 🤔🤔🤔

Howdy Twitter #NPP friends! any idea what this little critter is? struggling to key out as an NPP, I thought perhaps a testate amoebae, but ever so transparent. In abundance in a sample of peat immediately overlain by alluvium (pre-flooding signal?)..... Any ideas?!?!!

One year to the day since my dad passed away. It’s been a hard year, but we have the fantastic memories. Dropped by to visit where we scattered his ashes this morning. RIP Dad xx

Now available open access and in print! Coastal Lagoonal Evolution within the Early Holocene Humber Estuary This paper, led by @mjg_298, reviews multiproxy analyses of offshore vibrocores & helps improve our understanding of Holocene sea-level rise! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Coastal Lagoonal Evolution within the Early Holocene Humber Estuary, eastern England

Coastal Lagoonal Evolution within the Early Holocene Humber Estuary, eastern England

Rapid sea-level rise during the Early Holocene around the North Sea coastal lowlands provided conditions under which estuarine and coastal features, with no modern equivalents, could be created....

The study resulted from the analysis of offshore cores extracted by Ørsted, for the Hornsea Project 2 windfarm. The paper is a great example of what can be achieved through developer-led funding of research associated with infrastructure projects & the renewable energy transition

I’d never seen this clip before. What a master communicator (and world class human). Imagine the coal oil wood and gas burned since this presentation 40 years ago. If Carl were alive today he’d be my #1 choice as podcast guest. Bar none

All four birthdays in our little family fall in August 🤪, which means every year our summer holidays involve the need to transport presents on our holidays (we’re in Devon this Yr!). Then there’s kids bday party planning before/after. The only way to make it through chaos? WINE

Today has been a hard day. Probably the hardest. Farewell to my amazing dad. You made me who I am today, you inspired me to reach for the stars, you caught me when I fell. I will never forget you xx

Worth a read. 😱😱😱 It couldn’t be simpler. Everything is pointing to an absolute climatic clusterfuck. Yet, we collectively act like those frogs, sitting in a pan of water, as it slowly comes to the boil. We’re literally now a live version of the script of Don’t Look Up 😔😳

New Danish study just out in Nature Communications, titled "Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation". Is it serious? Here's my take on it: buff.ly/3O95c2M

Really enjoyed a day out away from the shoffice today, assessing multiple offshore vibrocores for @MSDSMarine at Fugro offices in Wallingford. Shame the majority appeared to be homogenous submarine sands! But we had one nice bit of peaty goodness, albeit at the top of the core 🤣
