Really nice to see the full story of @crabvocate.bsky.social's work having seen snippets over the past couple of years. Exciting findings to come 👀

Really cool to hear about @lisamol.bsky.social's work after not crossing paths in a loooong time. Many congrats on the award, Lisa!
Celebrating the Gordon Warwick award by Prof @lisamol.bsky.social this morning. Very inspiring to see Lisa’s research on heritage geomorphology in conflict zones, highlighting her outreach initiatives and the importance of partner organisations #BSG25

A great few days at #BSG25 where I got the chance to showcase my @leverhulme.ac.uk funded work on oxbow lakes - hopefully out in publication form soon.
The final session of #BSG25 focused on rivers 🌧️ including beaver restoration, oxbow lake geomorphology, the impacts of rewilding and controls on river flow sensitivity!

It's that time of year again, time for the annual @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social conference. A nice easy travel across from Hull this morning, but still an early start #BSG25

Great to get my first glimpse of Tilbury this week. Welcomed with a burnt out speed camera, so knew this site would provide the goods. Plenty of glass and crockery amongst other interesting finds. Look forward to collecting more samples here
