Sad to be finishing our #fieldwork on #NorthRona2018 with @tectonictweets and @AnnaBirdian. Many thanks to @NLB_UK and NLV Pharos crew to have made our geological adventure possible. Time to go home and plot some stereonets! @DurUniEarthSci @GeologyHull

-What strategic drivers are needed for #hydrogen ?
-What difference or change would you like to see in #hydrogenenergy storage by 2050?

Some questions we were asking at the @UKHyRES workshop. Thank you to the HyRES team for organising an incredibly interesting day!

[Tim Armitage @TimArmitage2]

Honoured to give this plenary talk at the @H2FCSupergen #conference in St Andrews on #hydrogen storage in porous rocks. Plenty of new faces and ideas emerged from the conference and I'll certainly be taking feedback home with me!

[JPhys Energy @JPhysEnergy]

Closing the conference in style, @TimArmitage2 talks to us about where we can store hydrogen as a gas in geological spaces in the UK 😮 salt caverns are available but today we are talking porous rocks 🪨 @H2FCSupergen conf. really has been fuel cells, hydrogen and rock’n’roll 🤟🏼

@tomphillips14 @DurUniEarthSci @k_mccaffrey Best of luck Tom in your next adventure!

Shetland shows complex array of opposing shear sense orientations. Could this be evidence for ductile extrusion during the Caledonian orogeny? Check out our presentation at #vEGU21 session TS7.11 @DurUniEarthSci

[Tim Armitage @TimArmitage2]

@CloseToTheWedge Totally agree with this. Coding is such a key skill for any scientist nowadays

Official government report says “The impact of contact tracing is relatively small” (p22) https://t.co/ZebG2q16pQ - surprised this hasn't had more attention

[Tim Armitage @TimArmitage2]

@Jamie_Priceless @kmgoodenough @BlenkinsopTom Excellent talk @Jamie_Priceless! It's great to hear some of the outcomes from your PhD

[Durham Earth Science @DurUniEarthSci]

Extrusion of ductile material in transpression zones has been modelled by rarely observed. On Friday, @TimArmitage2 will discuss how extrusion is a kinematic necessity and show an example from Shetland — presenting at #TSG50.

1/ The MHRA has approved a longer gap between doses for both the AstraZeneca vaccine and the Pfizer vaccine. The latter has concerned some people. Specifically many are citing a figure of 52% for protection after the first dose.

Here is why this 52% figure isn't useful [1/n]

Excited to present my research @popgroup conference tomorrow in session 1!! I'll be talking about using genomics to understand population history and adaptation across island bird populations 🦤#PGG54

@d_spiegel @BBCMoreOrLess @TimHarford Can you help answer a #covid question? Estimates of the R number UK-wide are >1, but daily case numbers seem to have plateaued. Why is this? Has UK Gov changed its testing strategy? Is this an artefact in the data?

[Durham Structural Group @DU_Structural]

Very proud of Zach and team for their great work @NWHGeopark which has been featured in @NatGeo!! 🌍🌍🌍 @DurUniEarthSci https://t.co/DaK5q8F8wU

[Tim Armitage @TimArmitage2]

Are you interested in fault reactivation? Are you curious about Shetland? Intrigued by transpression? Then check out my new paper! @IapetusDTP @DU_Structural @DurUniEarthSci #PhD #Shetland https://t.co/2oIYlp9skt

[Durham Earth Science @DurUniEarthSci]

New paper! Today we take you to Shetland! From @TimArmitage2 and others! "Late Carboniferous dextral transpressional reactivation of the crustal-scale Walls Boundary Fault, Shetland: the role of pre-existing structures and lithological heterogeneities"

Our annual bbq couldn't happen this summer 😢 so we had a department-wide quiz instead! Hello to everyone from us at @DurUniEarthSci!
Huge thanks to @TimArmitage2 and @Volcannabelle for organising! 🎉🥳

[Durham Structural Group @DU_Structural]

Great #Faultea today, it was a delight to have @KatyBurrows3 for her final year PhD talk! "Rapid Landslide Detection for Emergency Response" @DurUniEarthSci @NERC_COMET 🖥️👩🏻‍💻🌍
