Paid the German conference on Luminescence and Electron-Spin Resonance Dating #DLED2025 @uniheidelberg.bsky.social a visit today. Gorgeous location right below the castle at the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, and definitely the best conference gadget!

Today we concluded the @ialipa2025.bsky.social conference on #palaeolimnology and #limnogeology at Aix-les-Bains🇨🇵 with the session on #coastal lakes and #lagoons - Katharina Hess @uniheidelberg.bsky.social #geography presenting her work on palaeo-storms and #tsunamis in the #Shetland Islands

After a solid week of lake coring and sampling for #storm and #tsunami deposits on the #Shetland Islands, we found this yet undocumented gem 💎 on northern Mainland - a distinct gravel layer inside the coastal dunes. Hoping for good OSL results 🤞🏽

Indeed, Loch Flugarth #ShetlandIslands is a beauty on the inside AND the outside! @stever60.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social

Short stop at gorgeous #Forsinard Flows in the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Highlands, on our way to the #Shetland Islands in search of further palaeo-storm records and #tsunami deposits. Stay tuned...
