Arctic tundra now carbon source rather than a sink https://t.co/poCopVRVeZ

[NOAA Climate.gov @NOAAClimate]

According to the Arctic Report Card, the Arctic tundra has shifted from a carbon sink, which it has been for a millennia, into a carbon dioxide source, while also remaining a methane source.

Taking a photo of a green wall up close isn't easy but it's amazing!

What a fantastic opportunity for our geographers to visit Gloucester's flagship development - The Forum! A huge thank you to the team @kiergroup Jenny, Bradley and Rory for showing us round. It's an incredible project and so interesting to hear about the degree apprenticeships

What a brilliant evening taking part in the @Glos_Geog Worldwise Quiz! Our two teams did us proud and had a great time answering questions on volcanoes, sport, fieldwork and more. Thanks to @DeanCloseSchool for hosting and thanks to Charlie B in U6th for the quiz coaching!

One couldn’t ask for a more comprehensive book about the regeneration of Gloucester. Very glad to have a copy of Believing in Gloucester by @pauljames_glos for our department library!

[Geography | The King’s School @KSGGeog]

A huge thank you to @pauljames_glos for his excellent talk about the redevelopment of Gloucester. Brilliant links to our curriculum and important to know how things have changed, and continue to change, in our city. It was lovely to welcome geographers from @HSFGDenmarkRoad too!

Huge infrastructure project at the Air Balloon roundabout (can we still call it that now the pub has been demolished?). The “missing link” has been talked about for many, many years and it’s well underway.

@shiv_teaching Should the words be changed to “molten rock on the surface” rather than “magma coming to the surface” as the latter is still magma… sounds pedantic I realise but i suppose that’s the point!

[Geography | The King’s School @KSGGeog]

So looking forward to welcoming @pauljames_glos to speak to use about the regeneration of Gloucester today!

Group photo - the outtakes. Thanks to Peggy the dog who had much more energy than our L6th by this point in the day 😂

This looks good for #geographyteachers & #NEA

Today we were collecting carbon data in two areas of woodland on the @FSCNettlecombe estate enabling us to compare carbon sequestration in sycamore and oak trees. It was wet, it was muddy but we were not deterred! 👊🏼 🌳 🌳🌳

We were so lucky with the weather and the L6th got to practise methods they may wish to use in their individual NEAs #fieldwork

[Geography | The King’s School @KSGGeog]

Then it was a change of scene - swapping the city for the coast down at Porlock Weir. Yesterday L6th carried out sediment analysis with brilliant guidance from Ed @FSCNettlecombe
