The eldest concentrating on the novel task of scraping a thin layer of ice off the car windscreen this morning (with my staff card). We don’t get many frosts here but it was bloody cold this morning in the Adelaide Hills

Wonderful to wake to the sound of rain drumming on the roof today. First significant rain since October here & first of the year & after a very hot summer. Met someone at school dropoff who said they watched the rain from their terrace with tears in their eyes, that's how dry its been in the hills

One off the bucket list!! Went to see my first (only one in S. hemisphere) and local (only 6 hours away!) GSSP ‘golden spike’ last weekend in the Flinders Ranges in S Australia, marking the end of Snowball Earth and the start of a warm period in which multicellular life began to flourish ~635-538 Ma

A great little piece in the latest issue of Australian Geographic about our newly ARC-funded Australian Microarchaeology and Palaeosciences Facility (AusMAP), currently in the process of being constructed. Featuring a small photo of @ingatkatandaan.bsky.social in the current lab. Watch this space!!

The diurnal temperature range in the Adelaide Hills at this time of year is mad. Dropping to 10 or lower at night and then up to 34 or more during the day!!!

Wow! Check this out! My copy of the Orb’s Orboretum has just arrived & look at how beautiful it is, & I’ve not even spun a disc on the player yet!
The Orb have been completely instrumental in defining my musical tastes since the early 90’s - thanks guys!
Can’t wait to spin these discs!!

It was wonderful to show community members of the River Murray & Mallee Aboriginal Corporation around the Flinders Microarchaeology Laboratory today and discuss our joint projects.
Sophie Lee & I explained how we are analysing sediment blocks sampled from a rockshelter located on their lands.

Super pleased to announce that we were successful with our Australian Research Council infrastructure grant application to fund a massive upgrade of our Flinders Microarchaeology Laboratory, to form what will be AusMAP: the Australian Microarchaeology and Palaeosciences Facility.

Very happy to announce that I have been promoted to Professor at Flinders University!
Wouldn’t have got here of course without all of the many wonderful collaborations I’ve been involved with around the world & the support of friends, family and colleagues!
Here’s to more geoarchaeology!

I am just absolutely loving this new-ish @warringtonruncorn.com EP. Lush, folk-ish vibes with guitar and synth wonderfully woven together, and just check out the psychedelic golden hues of the vinyl. If you’re in to old skool synth electronica vibes then I’d check this out!
