Interested in protecting the environment? There is a group in the northeast working tirelessly to understand the impacts of industrial pollution in the Tees estuary and along the Durham and Yorkshire coasts. Please help if you can www.crowdjustice.com/case/protect...
Protect the Tees: Challenge the Licence
A Teesside industrial chemist for 40+ years, I’ve been investigating Tees dredging for 4 years and have uncovered severe contamination. We need the truth to protect our environment and economy.

Still some of the best 'glacial' landforms I have ever seen. Formed by lake ice pushing onshore with wind, tides and berg keels combining to produce microscale curvilinear MSGL, plough marks and push moraines. Blaso shoreline, NE Greenland 2017

Brilliant to see this paper rdcu.be/eUWMI by @NEGIS_Durham team & led by @louisecallard.bsky.social Work offshore with partners @awi.de revealing how ocean warming triggered ice shelf collapse @geogdurham.bsky.social @ncl-geography.bsky.social
Ocean driven retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream following the Last Glacial Maximum
Nature Communications - Warm Atlantic Water was a major driver of both initial NEGIS retreat from 21.6 ka BP and the collapse of its ice shelf ~15.2 ka BP. This study demonstrates the key role of...
