Excited to be here at #EGU25 interested in surface effects (especially soil moisture / irrigation) on extreme storms and assocaited hazards (particulary lightning) Talk on Thursday 09:50 in M2 @egu-as.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social
Some of the @ukceh.bsky.social #EGU25 troop managed to get together for a photo. So much high quality research being disseminated for the benefit of the scientific community. We should be proud of ourselves. #excellence #integrity #teamwork

Renewables are a win-win-win-win on cost, energy security, jobs & climate. Carbon capture may play a role, but to not reap benefits of local clean power & instead stay tied to foreign fossil fuels & their volatile price is crazy, even without climate change
