@CarlmJones Thank you for coming! I’m looking forward to the rest of the series :)

[Dr James Kirkham @JD_Kirkham]

There is no community agreement on the need to research this more @guardianscience

In fact, most polar scientists think these ideas are economically and practically unfeasible, environmentally dangerous, and have major governance and ethics issues!

@KirstyMEdgar @LES_UniBham Huge congratulations Prof Edgar!!!

[Prof. Kirsty Edgar @KirstyMEdgar]

Super chuffed to be promoted to Professor of Micropalaeontology @LES_UniBham. To my knowledge one of the first female Earth Science profs @ the university. Many thanks to my wonderful colleagues, friends, students and collaborators who’ve supported and inspired me on the journey.

Congratulations Dr @SlaterSophieM for a successful PhD viva on Earth’s greenhouse-icehouse transition! Huge thanks to @sindiarocks @EleanorHJohn @HelenCoxall for co-supervision, and @KirstyMEdgar @steveatearth for examining @CU_EARTH

[Carrie Lear (she/her) @CarolineLear]

@KarenHolford Congratulations Karen! So nice to see this, you’re such an inspiring role model who has lifted up so many

A very exciting day here @CU_EARTH as we took delivery of our new @thermosci Neoma MC-ICPMS/MS! Thankfully the welsh weather was kind to us and we got all the pieces into the lab without a hitch.

[Dr Joel C Gill @JoelCGill]

One week left to submit applications...

Come work with me (@CU_EARTH) and @Faithatron (@kclgeography) on our @LR_Foundation funded project on disaster preparedness at the household level, in contexts where there are multiple, interrelated hazards.

World’s oldest fossilised trees discovered along Devon and Somerset coast. 35 years searching for the oldest forests and they were only 20 miles away! You live and learn. Great to work with ⁦@Censedgeol⁩ and ⁦@willmcmahon92⁩ on this project. https://t.co/0LEPqUKgnh

Want to know why Michelle Donelan was forced to make an extraordinary apology to two academics earlier today?

It's a bizarre tale involving Policy Exchange, a secret government dossier and a libel case paid for by the taxpayer

A short thread (1/10)

"Without more significant #climate action we expect to see a similar domino effect from the much faster changes in GhG concentrations caused by burning fossil fuels" - Prof. @CarolineLear

Just released my latest paper about the 'peri-column' on G-cubed! Introducing a new boron purification technique using pumped ion-exchange column chromatography. Cut down the process to 1.5 hrs for 12 samples🚀and limited TPBs to ~ 10pg B! #boronisotope https://t.co/L7tAI15Myq

[Carrie Lear (she/her) @CarolineLear]

Today @CELTIC_lab hosted a @GW4Alliance workshop at @CU_EARTH so much great (and often nerdy) science being discussed, excited to see new collaborations come from this! Great talks by @theFosterlab @CV_Ullmann @MichaelHenehan and others - thanks all!

2023 was the warmest year on record globally by a large margin. Another dark red stripe gets added, though I think I need a new colour.

@CarolineLear: "This report doesn't just set out the urgent need to reduce CO2 emission to 0, but it also reminds policymakers that if they make decisions in an equitable way, we could see positive impacts build until we reach a beneficial tipping point for society & the planet"

[Cardiff School of Earth & Environmental Sciences @CU_EARTH]

@cu_earth Professors @CarolineLear & Stephen Barker contributed to @GSI_Exeter's Global Tipping Points report, looking at interactions between tipping points and the potential for cascading tipping points.
