The first computer my parents had had an 80 mb hard drive (I still have it because of the archive of classic 90s PC games on it)

Last year I spent a lot of time updating @frommers.com guidebook to #Iceland, which has just come out. Many, many thanks to my Icelandic friends who answered my random questions as they arose - I could not have done it without you.

I absolutely love the channel tunnel for so many reasons and this is definitely one of them!

No, I don't want to "quickly hop on a call with you". I want to bump into you at random on a rain-lashed heath, nod at you in silent mutual admiration as we watch a buzzard gliding smoothly over a dramatic chicane in the river, then get the fuck on with my day

Excited to be heading to York later for the @quaternaryra.bsky.social Sea Level and Coastal Change meeting tomorrow! Anyone around this evening and fancy a pint? Hit me up!

...also if the soil is heavily disturbed by the bioturbation from roots/plants/burrowing critters then the seismic facies would be totally different to if it were undisturbed, even if it was under the vertical resolution

Andy Emery @andydoggerbank.bsky.social · Sep 3

...except in ultra high res seismic where you can and do get better vertical resolution than that

P.s. This sounds super cool, excited to hear more!

There are tree stumps preserved in marshy peats on Dogger Bank, but I'm wondering whether the disturbance would still show up in, say, a silty clay substrate that used to be a proglacial lake, even if the roots themselves have rotted away.

Andy Emery @andydoggerbank.bsky.social · Sep 3

I wonder what a forested palaeolandscape would look like on seismic, whether you'd be able to see disturbance from roots... 🤔

Imagine the benefits of them being allowed to stay - you could hang your washing from their antlers to dry it out, cuddle them for warmth in winter, play monopoly with them... More reindeer in homes I say
