Our colleague Professor Chris Stokes is at #COP29 to talk about the latest research on ice sheet dynamics and sea level rise.

[Durham University @durham_uni]

The world’s snow and ice regions are at risk of irreversible loss and damage, according to a new report from an international team of more than 50 leading cryosphere scientists, including Professor Chris Stokes @GeogDurham 👉 https://t.co/xz7ij2Df2G

Today I joined other MPs, Peers & charities led by @_MCS_Foundation urging Govt to ensure solar PV is mandated for all new build homes

We should not be building new homes that immediately need retrofitting - a waste of time and money.

@rdlarter Physics means there is a ~7% increase in moisture content of atmosphere for every 1 deg C warming. Data from UK shows the reality of increased rainfall intensity since 1961. Graph credit: @ed_hawkins #exremeevents

[Ed Hawkins @ed_hawkins]

Today it is the UK's turn to experience serious flooding due to intense rainfall.

A reminder that UK rainfall intensity has increased markedly over the past 60+ years. All consistent with the physics of a warming atmosphere which is now more humid.

🚨New paper!🚨

We present evidence that the Lateglacial lake in the Magellan Strait was dammed by rapid GIA uplift after deglaciation rather than a 100 km glacier re-advance during the ACR

Really happy to be involved in this project led by Bob McCulloch

The world of paleontology lost Euan Clarkson today.
Absolute legend. The guy who wrote the undergrad textbook I used. And who later welcomed me @GeosciencesEd to continue the legacy he built here.
Expert on trilobites. Friend and mentor to many. One of Scotland's finest. RIP!

Could you maybe use the name and photo of the woman - a prominent KC who has very active in civic Scotland - that has been appointed the Advocate General for Scotland rather than the name and photo of her father?

[Joanna Hardy-Susskind @Joanna__Hardy]

Hugely skilled and accomplished woman gets a good job. The headline? Doesn’t use her name. Only uses her (deceased) male relative’s name. And the photo? That’s of him too.
