Very happy to say, our paper on orbital forcing of Early Jurassic wildfires just got published in @CommsEarth!!

Check it out if you want to know more about hydrological changes and fire on a orbital timescale:

@TSG_since1970 @kithardman @DurUniEarthSci Contgratulations Kit. The Ussher Soceity (https://t.co/ykYiP5NgtA) would like to invite you to speak at our annual meeting (online) on the work conducted in and around Tor Bay. The meeting takes place on the 6th/7th January 2022. I'd like to discuss more regards, Andrew Green

It was a very cold -4c this morning at the #UDDGP project site.
We will continue with the #geothermal well testing this month with the minimum number of people at the site, everyone else is #workingfromhome

Combining #MineralProcessing with lightning and #MachineLearning, this article shows that computers can determine breakage rate of rocks by the noises during processing, and this can be used to estimate size reduction.

Potentially of huge significance to the natural resources sector in Cornwall @CornishLithium @BritishLithium @LEPCornwall_IoS

[Rowan Halkes @RowanHalkes]

A few of us from @CambSchMines will be presenting at @NXGENresources! I'll be giving a short talk about the
@MIREU_EU project and work in #Cornwall 🇪🇺 〓〓

Still time to register: https://t.co/d3nBLEq3IU

We’ve been working hard finding how we can safely run field classes in line with Covid-19 guidelines, and we were delighted to get out last week with our 1st year geologists to Godrevy! Even though the weather and angry sea tried to scupper our plans, we all had a great time! 🤩

[Robin Shail @Shailyband]

Here is a brilliant geology PhD project related to deep geothermal energy. Cornwall is the most prospective area in the UK and Eden Geothermal are drilling a 4.5 km deep well in 2021. You need to be enthusiastic about granite because you’re going to be seeing a lot of it 😉.

🚨PhD PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT🚨- Interested in granite mineralogy/geochemistry, fracture/vein systems + development of deep geothermal energy? Great project here working with the Eden geothermal team. See: https://t.co/C1ymPY0Au5 (apply by 16.11.20). #granite #geothermal #cornwall

What an opportunity. We’ve seen some great work on this over the years but this is an excellent time to be driving forward #research into #Cornubian #mineralisation

Plenty of this around #Cornwall and #Devon! It was even mined itself in some areas

[Mining Remediation Authority @MiningRemAuth]

So what is it and what is it used for? Great question! Ochre (hydro ferric oxide) is an orangey type sludge, kind of like a clay, that can be found at our mine water treatment schemes 💧🔎 (2/4)
