Just reflecting on a great week at the IAL-IPA joint meeting in Aix-les-Bains. Lots of PalaeOpen work through a poster, a talk and a full-day workshop as well. And a great social to round up proceedings!

Just coming to the end of my first week as a lecturer at @royalholloway.bsky.social - great times chatting to colleagues old and new. Next week it's off to Macedonia to host a workshop for the PalaeOpen COST Action, very exciting too

Last week I handed back my office keys and laptop, which wrapped up my time at BBK. Nearly 8 years, they have flown by and I learned a lot! In a month's time I'll be starting a new position (which I'm really looking forward to). In the meanwhile, BBK is now recruiting: cis7.bbk.ac.uk/vacancy/lect...

Thank you! And of course I'm happy to share a pdf (coming right up :)). To manage expectations though, we didn't really focus on Quercus as that wasn't a major constituent of the NW European forests of the time

Nearly ready to turn on my auto-reply and start the holidays, and just reflecting on a thing my Phd supervisor Sjoerd Bohncke (who sadly no longer is with us) used to say: "Strange things can happen in the Holocene" :)

This looks like a nice teaching resource - soil maps for the UK
New topsoil geochemistry data released by BGS provides the most extensive snapshot of environmental pollution effects around the UK.
The maps pinpoint the distribution of 41 different chemical elements, providing invaluable insights across a wide range of disciplines.
