Interesting few days attending the INQUA-CODE workshop @plymuni.bsky.social a couple of weeks ago! Learnt lots about Python for Earth surface process modelling, particularly using Landlab. Excited to put some of it into practice in my PhD 🤓👩‍💻📈

Opinion: “Geography shapes how we understand and produce a more sustainable and just world. It is, by design, a holistic, systems-based approach to understanding the world.” The UK universities cutting geography have lost their bearings, write five professors #highered ow.ly/VI5L50YgHBe

Enjoyed presenting my first ever conference poster at #ICG2026 yesterday! It was great to discuss my research applying luminescence to characterise sediment routing in the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed, Arizona, and next steps for my PhD… 🏜️

Great to be back in the field today after almost 2 years! Exploring potential sampling locations for Charlotte’s MPhil, which will apply the OSL of modern fluvial sediments to investigate contemporary transport and depositional processes. Beautiful weather for it too ☀️🏞️
