Lecturing tip #312. Increase student attention and engagement in the field by having a herd of cows stare at them throughout. Some adaptations needed to the Roger Stevens building perhaps…
Well done @connieharpur.bsky.social on producing a wonderful poster at #EGU25. You smashed it and drew a crowd throughout your poster session. Maybe some new collaborations there too! Woop Woop!
If your name’s not down… you’re not coming in.
It’s great having #bees in our garden. Two ‘bouncers’ here guarding their entrance and bee-handling this unfortunate bee right across the garden.
Perhaps ‘guard bees’ and ‘robber bees’ in action?
Another gorgeous field day surveying the Yorkshire #beavers. Laser scans, UAV surveys, a bit of dGPS where trees allowed and some iPad LiDAR surveys too. That's the 7th annual survey complete. Loads of activity... and look! I think I stumbled on a beaver workshop?
5 years monitoring this wonderful #beaver release site in #Yorkshire! Pulling together a wide range of evidence, we saw changes in hydrology (reduced peaks/baseflow increase), reduction in turbidity, and increased vertebrate species richness and aquatic plant diversity 🦫👍https://tinyurl.com/bdd9k2ke
On this years’ Portugal trip, while wandering over the student field sites we found some naked men. Thankfully, the Naked Man orchid (also generously known as the Italian man orchid). Good spot @kofitim.bsky.social - you have a good eye for these things!
Nice hat too
Applications open for a 3-year Post Doc position in Leeds (UK) on the #UKRI funded Still Waters project. We are looking for #hydrology #geomorphology modelling skills to embed surface hydrology into #malaria models with fieldwork in Zambia. Pls contact me for more details: tinyurl.com/3356rt44
Hi all! Just a reminder that the @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social BSG Annual Conference abstract deadline is tomorrow. The conference, celebrating 50 years of #ESP&L, is 16-18 Sept right in the very centre of Leeds… 1 minute from the railway station… and a conference dinner hosted in Leeds Armouries.
Zambia has experienced bad recent droughts: our new paper @mrozelizabeth.bsky.social shows future climate will change annual Barotse flooding. Reds = decreasing flood duration and, well, there are no blues. Impacts already seen with Kuomboka ceremony shifting later/cancelled tinyurl.com/yc5u48ej

This study examines the combined effects of land cover change and ENSO on streamflow dynamics in four coastal catchments of central Chile, using a 45-year (1979–2023) dataset of remote sensing and hy...
