You don't think it will ever happen until it does... Finding your intellectual property shared without due credit while doom scrolling on Facebook. I thought I recognised the map of Malta. Turns out I did. I'd drawn it & we'd published it!

I'll be representing @uniexecges today @DiscoverUniExe in the Forum (12:30 in Forum 7,8,9 & 13:30 in Forum 4). Come and find out all about our amazing programmes in Geography, Environmental Science, & Marine Science! #discovercges #universitybythesea #university

🇯🇵 Early warnings stand out as amongst the most proven and cost-effective methods to reduce deaths and damages caused by hazards.

Looking forward to starting a new year of GEO3469 tomorrow with module intro and the first exploration of cities and risk. Lots of examples to consider in the seminar on Thursday and for students to reflect on in their journal notebooks!

2024. The year I was promoted & celebrated the successes of my first Exeter tutees. Some great fieldtrips (yes, even the one that was rather washed out by the end!). Fab students. Just the last 2 months put a massive dampener on it all #academicprecarity #highered #HappyNewYear

🧵 A thread of each month’s most powerful Tropical Cyclone over the course of this year.

JANUARY: Category 4 Cyclone Anggrek, a storm that peaked with winds of 140 mph and a core pressure of 950 mbar while spinning amidst the desolate vastness of the southern Indian Ocean.

The FINAL week of #geo2463! Two more sessions. This means the end-of-module simulation exercise is rapidly approaching. Will it be Monday, or will it be Tuesday? Oh the tension! All will be revealed in Monday's class! #researchledteaching

[Dr Geoff Main @Geoff_Main]

Can't believe we're onto the penultimate(!!) week of #geo2463 @uniexecges starting tomorrow. This week? We're looking at sinkholes/dolines & then the social science theme of tourism & natural hazards. The 1st magical mystery tour? Somewhere famous for lobster (incl. in beer!)!

[Dr Geoff Main @Geoff_Main]

In this coming week for #geo2463 students @uniexecges, we finish our look at hydrometeorogical/socionatural hazards before exploring the relationships between theodicy and natural hazards. Where will we go in our magical mystery tours though?
