@SamWoor It's just the beginning Sam. So much exciting research ahead of you. Enjoy every minute wherever it takes you. And very well done for all you've achieved in the last few years 😊

Great article from @SLBurrough about the importance of listening as part of the research process and science communication

A year of failed fieldwork in Africa led @SLBurrough of @UniofOxford to ask questions about how #researchers interact with societies they work in. She shares five tips for transparent, inclusive #research practices https://t.co/WQaYh2TmR0 via @timeshighered #academictwitter

"Funding requirements to partner with local institutions are not enough. The partnership should be one driven by local priorities & equal participation."

Our paper is now out in Earth-Science Reviews! We bring together chronologies from fluvial sediments across southwestern Africa to assess evidence of late Quaternary hydrological change.

"You know what’s wrong with scientific power? It’s a form of inherited wealth. And you know what assholes congenitally rich people are." We're trying to do things differently in the Geosciences now. @SMothulatshipi @kalaharidave   https://t.co/W41AynYAIX via @ConversationUK

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson of @UniRdg_Met shows just how long it takes water to soak into parched ground, illustrating why heavy rainfall after a #drought can be dangerous and might lead to flashfloods.

First of 6 papers out in QSR, peeking into the lives of our ancestors who were lugging about silcrete on a salt-pan 75-thousand years ago in the #Makgadikgadi #Botswana. https://t.co/nEw7AMTuWR

It's great to see the new volume 'Landscapes and Landforms of Botswana' (edited by @fekarduct) now published. I really enjoyed writing my chapters on Kalahari dry valleys and calcrete/silcrete duricrusts, drawing together research developed since my PhD. https://t.co/rN0QI9MV0O

Very happy that my first PhD paper is now out in #ESPL! We use luminescence dating, lithostratigraphy, and petrography to reconstruct the fluvial response of the Huab River, Namibia, to Holocene climates.

I'm an author on the new #ipcc report and I study climate change impacts and adaptation options in #Africa. 🧵: How bad could it get? Who is most vulnerable? How can we adapt? Here's a report summary for Africa.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) is a key component of #climate through its transport of heat in the North Atlantic

This new Review by Jackson et al. explores the evolution of the AMOC since 1980
