Every 5⃣ seconds the equivalent of one soccer pitch is eroded!

Once we lose this soil we won't see it again in our lifetime.

We need to #StopSoilErosion to ensure our #foodsecurity!

[United Nations @UN]

Soil erosion poses a major threat to global food security & the achievement of the #GlobalGoals.

On Thursday's #WorldSoilDay, learn what's being done to protect our planet's soils. https://t.co/aK9DkeXYue via @FAO

Fantastic setting for @ARIES_DTP Winter School @FSCFlatfordMill, wrapping up with a discussion on research ethics and sharing ideas @TMcgenity @EcoGareth @ueaenv @ResearchEssex @polarplasticcod

[Dr. Sophia Dowell @BGSSophia]

I spent the past 3 weeks in western Kenya, training in the field and sampling soils for my PhD research! It was an amazing experience and I’m looking forward to further fieldwork in the future 📚🇰🇪 #foodsecurity #soilerosion #lakevictoria @BritGeoSurvey @PlymUni @ARIES_DTP

[Dr. Sophia Dowell @BGSSophia]

Spent the past 3 days at the @ARIES_DTP induction event! It’s been great to meet so many like minded people and get to grips with many aspects of my PhD 👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing everyone in November for the winter school ❄️ #PhDlife #EarthScience
