Postgrad Research Student at the OU, looking at fluvial and sedimentary deposits in Noachis Terra, Mars

[Adam Losekoot @ALosekoot]

It's been really exciting to attend @BPSC2024Leic this week and to present the preliminary results of the first year of my PhD, mapping fluvial deposits in Noachis Terra, Mars, in the National Space Centre @spacecentre #BPSCLeicester

[Dr. Judith Hubbard @JudithGeology]

A new paper in Science claims to have detected precursor behavior for large earthquakes. WOAH - could earthquake prediction be on the horizon?

Kyle Bradley and I revisit the analysis - and we think the conclusions of the paper don't hold up. 🧵

There’s a lot of misinformation, and people are slamming him quite a lot on the internet today, so we thought we’d sift through the noise and compile a list of everything that Sir Keir Starmer *actually* stands for. 🧵 1/…

This is so powerful.

Students are finishing university with TBC instead of grades and staff are still receiving punitive salary deductions.

The bosses could have ended this dispute well before graduations.

This is all on you, @UCEA1.

If you would like a pleasantly maddening picture of exactly how severely the fossil fuel industry has been lying to us, here's their total net income from 2015 to 2022, compared to how much they've spent on various non-fossil technologies:

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯.

The Mediterranean Sea was dry 5M years ago

Then, a series of MEGAFLOODS filled it in a matter of months

How did the Med dry up?
Why did it fill so brutally?
How would it have felt to be there?

This is what we know:

Today, landowner John Price was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment for the destruction of 1.5km of the protected River Lugg.

Together with @NaturalEngland, we welcome this sentence and will continue to work hard to restore the health of our rivers.

Will you set off on the #BritishCycleQuest this spring? 🌷 This is a challenge we're giving you the rest of your life to complete! And with lighter warmer days here to stay, now is a brilliant time to get outside and start exploring new places by bike: https://t.co/JCNseJKIjV

[Adam Losekoot @ALosekoot]

This makes for exceedingly grim reading but adds to the ever growing pile of evidence that fossil fuel companies have known exactly what they are doing for decades. Their selfishness and disregard for anything but their bottom line is vile and obvious. Despicable.

Compiled by @VatanHuzeir, the latest cache of internal documents describing Big Oil's concealed knowledge of global warming is a gold mine.

One bombshell is a confidential @Shell scenario report from 1989 which imagined two futures: SUSTAINABLE WORLD and GLOBAL MERCANTILISM 🧵

This drew an awful lot of comment yesterday despite the #budget — or perhaps because of it. If you’re a fan of #cycling/ two wheels please share… @theJeremyVine take note! https://t.co/EBHXwyCxAl

🤦‍♀️Today's report on the sewage dumping scandal is just wrong

💩We do NOT agree to higher bills. Water companies had our £££ - it went on profit/bonuses not our water system

🌊@TheGreenParty proudly commits to public ownership of water companies - the only party to do so

Headline finding buried deep within the #IPCC report

"Without a strengthening of policies, global warming of 3.2°C is projected by 2100"

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

9 years in the making, yesterday's #IPCC 6th assessment report synthesises a 6000-page (?) summary of climate and related sciences, and is arranged around 18 'headline statements'

I'm going to try and summarise it in 18 plain-language tweets 😬

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

In the 1970s, Dutch cities like Amsterdam were full of traffic and air pollution.

Now they are models of sustainable urban planning.

Here's the story of how the Netherlands started building their cities for humans, not cars.
