#GeographyTeacher thinking about getting back to school next week? Over the summer we've made some improvements to https://t.co/xmhLHjySrM to make it even easier for you to make use of #GIS inside and outside of your classroom.
A short thread of some highlights.....

Perhaps a good example to look at with classes? Beryl: the Hurricane that is continually being called 'absurd'!
#GeographyTeacher

[Nahel Belgherze @WxNB_]

This is unreal. Hurricane Beryl continues to defy all know logic, now becoming the first June Category 4 hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin. I can't even stress enough just how completely absurd that storm is.

[GA PGSIG @GAPGSIG]

This is a helpful model!

[Philip Prince @AllPhilsFault]

Toe removal landslide model making its way into an actual presentation…I really like the initial movement phase on this one. Reactivation with toe removal continues until the slide block breaks up due to slight changes in slide plane dip. Glass microbead sliding horizon.

Impacts of #ClimateChange on Earth's #groundwater temperatures?
+ve = geothermal energy opportunity
-ve = threatened ecosystems & industries
-ve = degraded drinking water quality
Useful as a resource for #geographyteacher!

[GA PGSIG @GAPGSIG]

Huge congrats for a well deserved 2024 Geography Teaching Award to our Dutch colleague @geobronnen !

Some really good info in here (and images!) for #geographyteacher

[International Cryosphere Climate Initiative @ICCInet]

Today, over 10 million people across the world are vulnerable to glacial lake outburst floods.

In High Mountain Asia alone, these flooding hazards are projected to triple by 2100, especially with continued high emissions.

Evidence for #ClimateChange

1. 🌡️ Increased global temperatures >1.5°C

2. 🌊 Rising sea level >24 cm

3. ❄️ Shrinking glaciers

4. ♨️ Increased heat content of oceans

5. 🧊 Reduced Arctic and Antarctic sea ice

All because human GHG emissions 🏭

A challenge for #GeographyTeacher - how well can you do with this quiz?

An excellent example of glacial fluctuations over time #GeographyTeacher

[Melaine Le Roy @subfossilguy]

Throwback to the former beauty of this now reshaped valley, which hosted most aesthetic Swiss glacier for me! 🗻❄️🪨

An interesting one for #GeographyTeacher - Earthquakes in the UK!?

[British Geological Survey @BritGeoSurvey]

Did you know that BGS detects as many as 300 UK earthquakes each year? These are typically quite small, but larger events exceeding magnitude 5 can occur.

Seismologist Dr Brian Baptie discusses the last significant earthquake to hit the UK and how it affected the country.

[Denise Freeman 🌎🙋🏻‍♀️ @geography_DAF]

There’s so much geography in episode three!

[Adam Corbridge 🌍 @MrCorbridgeGeog]

All set up and ready for 9am.
Come along and hear me and ⁦@GAPGSIG⁩ talk about how we can make Physical Geography accessible to all!
#GAConf24

[GA PGSIG @GAPGSIG]

Congratulations to all of the award winners at #GAConf24 and the president for 25-26 @GeogMum!
Now time for the public lecture - should be an interesting one!
