This account is resting for a while, and I will blend my Geography posts in with my other account: @petergknight . Please find me there if you would like to.

I'm hibernating this account for a while, and will mix my Geography tweets into my @petergknight account. Please follow me there if you would like to keep seeing my bits of Geography. I'm struggling with the overwhelm, so I'm simplifying my social media 'empire' a bit.

@PKGeog Hi,

I am contacting Lecturers in Higher Education to ask if they would like to complete my online questionnaire as part of my Bachelor’s Thesis?

Participation consists of an online survey rating statements about learning and behaviour and should take around 10 minutes (no timer so can be completed in your own time). Inclusion criteria: currently teaching in a Higher Education institution in the UK.

This could be a #geographyteachers obsession.

Very tempted to use this to introduce the GCSE climate change topic. Probably the best summary explanation of what causes natural and human induced climate change and the importance of action that you'll come across.

My niece presenting a programme on the BBC that will be of interest to a lot of my geography friends. Iceland, world trade, geopolitics, geothermal energy, Arctic communications routes, climate change...

A thread: the first page of each chapter of my book "Glacier: Nature and Culture", for anyone who's interested to see what it's about but doesn't want to splash out and buy a copy without checking it out. #books #glaciers #climatechange #art #science #adventure #exploration

One of my old lockdown videos, still relevant to the module this year, so given as some preparatory background watching for my 1st-year Physical Geographers this week. Landscapes. Geomorphology. Systems. Connections. https://t.co/PS1rlZPnyl

You may have noticed frost appearing on these colder mornings.

There are different types of frost and this video looks at how they form.

Find out more about frost and ice on our website including how we forecast frost.

Recorded a new voiceover for my 1-minute introduction video for my Fundamentals of Physical Geography module... "Physical Geography is a fantastic subject..." Check https://t.co/lpROLm26nC for the video.

The psychological distance that kept many from recognizing how climate change is no longer a distant issue is eroding quickly these days, as the impacts become visible and relevant. https://t.co/QMRzipNBF6

Can you name the three so-called "Great Capes" - the southern points of South America, Africa and Australia?

If you can, well done. If not, look them up here!

Next week, in the induction session for new students, I'll be asking my new Keele Geographers what they think is the most fundamental geographical skill. What do you think the answer should be? #geographyskills #geographyteacher #Geography Most important Geog skill? rsvp.

[Keele Geography Courses @KeeleGeogs]

Geography at Keele has been ranked Top-10 in the new 2024 Guardian University Guide.

Do you have a favourite cape? Mine would be Cape Farwell (Kap Farvel) in Greenland.

[PKGeography 🌍 @PKGeog]

OK, ok, it was a trick question in that the Australian one is not actually the most southerly point of Australia. Capes are tricky!
