I would be fascinated to learn more about this weird plant growing in the karren on the surface of clints, located in the SSSI nature reserve below Ingleborough in the Dales. Looks like seaweed, probably an algae? @YorkshireWild1 @NaturalEngland @YorksWildlife @BritishEcolSoc

@TheGSAL @GsalOutdoors Silver D of E training weekend: wind, rain, more wind, an airborne tent, a pitch with a view, and then a day of glorious sunshine. A typical early season spring expedition! @DofE

Silver @DofE groups from @TheGSAL @GsalOutdoors making strong progress across the top of Ilkely Moor into a brisk and fairly chilly headwind. Sunshine, rain, hail… a proper early spring day!

There's been a long debate about why there was a big decline in atmospheric C02 in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Now, thanks to new analysis by ice core scientist Dr Amy King, we're pretty sure we have the answer: colonialism.

February was exceptionally wet for southern and eastern England.

Remarkably, East Anglia recorded both its warmest and wettest February on record.

Future winters will be a lot warmer and wetter. Not convinced we’re ready!

[Dave Throup @DaveThroup]

The scale of February’s European heatwave is incredible.

Most of the countries in the black areas saw their warmest February on record - some by a huge margin.

Some locations experienced temperatures that would set all time March records!

Such a powerful graphic for #geographyteacher for us to explore refugee streams for the past 30 years.

@kate_stockings Another thought-provoking question from @kate_stockings What is interesting is that many of the responses to your question - in relation to FIRST lesson in Y7 - are in many cases what I imagine is taught through Y7. So… if we want them to start with this, where do we go in Y7?

Greenhouse gas emissions soar – with China, US and India most at fault… but lazy reporting from ⁦@guardian⁩… how do you define ‘most at fault’… where are the per capita statistics? https://t.co/9icdzFVr4h

Strong #geography wall display in @IKEAUK today! Located photos - I resisted the temptation to annotate for higher marks!

Listening to this now - very interesting on how demographic change affects societies. @ProfSarahHarper - fascinating to hear about your research! #geography #geographyteacher

Enjoyable day out doing #geography #fieldwork with great group of Y7s. Climbed up Conistone Dib to the #limestone pavement, one of the best of its kind in the Dales. Introduction to #map skills along the way. Loved teaching about the microclimate the grikes create. @gsalgeog

The @Ofstednews #geography report suggests that practical fieldwork skills that pupils learn greatly improve their geography studies, with more YP choosing the subject for GCSE & beyond

Fascinating article by Naomi Oreskes on the role of scientific consensus in the advancement of scientific understanding, using the development of the theory of plate tectonics to reflect on how best we should understand climate change science today.

One of the reasons we're worried about #StormCiarán is because of the loss of 'capacity' within the soil as a result of #StormBabet. This animation shows how the soil moisture deficit changed across England and Wales 10 days ago - the dark blues showing 'saturated' catchments
