The wild flower meadow outside OSHQ always looks glorious after No Mow May! 🌼

By pausing routine mowing across our sites, we’ve given space for spontaneous wildflowers to emerge, supported essential pollinators, and helped boost local biodiversity in a simple way.

@EngineeringNCL @HayleyJFowler @royalsociety Congratulations from everyone in the Geospatial Systems CDT, Hayley - very well deserved!

[Engineering at Newcastle @EngineeringNCL]

We're thrilled to share that @HayleyJFowler has been
elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (@royalsociety) in recognition of her pioneering work on climate change impacts.

Strong CDT representation at yesterday's Civil and Geospatial Engineering Research Conference in NCL - Doreen Boyd gave a keynote, numerous CDT student presentations (Nadia Skifa's an award winning one!) and Visiting Prof of Practice, Vanessa Lawrence did the closing (pictured).

Proud as punch to announce that Cohort 3 student Sophie Mann won Best Poster Award at the Young Coastal Scientists and Engineers Conference, which took place at the University of Nottingham earlier this week. Well done, Sophie!

Hugely enjoyable day yesterday at the "Heritage Geospatial Symposium" hosted by Riegl UK at The Hospitium, Museum Gardens, York. We participated in a round table on the future of geospatial surveying, and Neil Sutherland delivered an invited presentation on his PhD research.

[Geospatial Systems CDT @GeospatialCDT]

And that's wrap on Challenge Week 2026! Great week on the IoW completed today with presentation of the deliverables - many thanks to everyone involved, including IoW Council and the NDTP, but especially our amazing students. Safe trip home, everyone!

Had to personally leave island life behind earlier today, but what a privilege to spend a few days with these incredible researchers. As individuals their skills leave you in awe, but when they work together as a team... Just Wow! Can't wait to see what they produce by Friday...

Interesting announcements on renewable energy from @energygovuk today as our PhD students report in to their CEO on their day's Challenge Week progress re: a wind and solar digital twin... if you want to solve the energy crisis you need to think geospatially!

Some brain storming, a meeting with the IoW Council, a little bit of field validation, and a sit-down stand-up on Monday sees the team ready to go hard at the challenge of locating renewable energy sites on the island on Tuesday...
