Clean, British wind power is currently helping to shield the UK from volatile international oil and gas prices caused by the Iran war. It amazes me that this is not being talked about more as a powerful reminder of the economic benefit of decarbonising our society!

Record wind output helps shield the UK from worst of Iran war fallout
Record output from wind farms has helped boost total clean power supplies in the United Kingdom to new highs so far in 2026, and allowed power firms to pare use of fossil fuels to multi-year lows.

Check out the final video from on board the COSSMoSS cruise to find out about what we got up to in a 24 hour period on board the #RRSJamesCook off the coast of Uruguay! Hard to believe it was a year ago already!

I really enjoyed taking part in the University of Malaya's #Trashblitz whilst here in #Malaysia! A huge haul of #PlasticPollution was removed from the beach and important #CitizenScience data collected by the student team! 🧪🦑🌍 @brendangodley.bsky.social @exetermarine.bsky.social

Bottles away!! The first of our RASP-SEA river releases of #GPS tagged #PlasticBottles have been released! These bottles will help us understand plastic transport from major rivers in Malaysia! #PlasticPollution #Oceanography #Environment #Malaysia 🧪🦑🌍 @brendangodley.bsky.social
