Delighted to pass my viva today! Huge thanks goes to my supervisors, examiners, @CDTFluidsLeeds and @EPSRC for the funding.

[EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics @CDTFluidsLeeds]

Congratulations to @CDTFluidsLeeds student @ColinMHardy on passing your viva today! What a great early Christmas present, onwards and upwards Dr Hardy! #cdtalumni #fluiddynamics #fluids

[Liverpool Uni Earth Sciences @LivUniEarthSci]

Check out this great new paper from @andybiggin and team in the @LivUniGeomag @LivUni on the dominance of the geomagnetic axial dipole on our magnetosphere.

@StevenTobias7 @CDTFluidsLeeds @FluidsLeeds I had great fun playing with these when I visited UCLA so I highly recommend!

@StefanoMaffei Wait, so you're telling me I ordered a jade amulet watch for nothing?!

[Rob @RobdoesPHYSICS]

@ChalkCaitlin @LivUniEarthSci Very cool project! I'm sure we will bump into each other once we're allowed in the building.

Co-authored with the legendary team of @ChthonicJon @ChrisDaviesGeo @StevenTobias7. Thanks to @CDTFluidsLeeds and @FluidsLeeds.

***new paper alert***
The second paper from my #PhD has just been published by @PhysRevFluids. What a great way to end the week! 🎉🎊

Thermal boundary layers (TBL) control many aspects of convecting systems and we try to accurately measure the size of these TBL.

You heard of Quasi-Geostrophy, but have you heard of Plesio-Geostrophy? 🤪 This new paper describes a new mathematical model that we will use to explore interannual dynamics of the Earth's outer core. Tests being currently run!

What an exciting week! I have joined @LivUniGeomag as a postdoc to work on geodynamo modelling with @andybiggin and co. What ingredients do simulations need in order to resemble Earth's magnetic field of the past millions of years (and even longer)? Let's find out...

[Rob @RobdoesPHYSICS]

@FluidsTom Cheers mate! Let's go cohort 3!🥳

[Rob @RobdoesPHYSICS]

@CathNoakes @CDTFluidsLeeds Thanks a lot Cath!

[Rob @RobdoesPHYSICS]

@CDTFluidsLeeds Thanks Claire! News of the new adventure to come soon...

[Rob @RobdoesPHYSICS]

It has been a lot of fun the past 3 years working on rotating convection by mixing numerical simulations and laboratory experiments!

Thanks to Jon Aurnou & Jewel Abbate (UCLA) for hosting me during my visit and @EPSRC for funding.

[Rob @RobdoesPHYSICS]

After giving it time to settle in, I am happy to say that I passed my PhD viva this morning!!

Big thank you to @CDTFluidsLeeds for giving me the opportunity to do my PhD with some great supervisors @ChthonicJon @ChrisDaviesGeo @StevenTobias7.

I couldn't have asked for better!

[Rob @RobdoesPHYSICS]

@ChthonicJon Thanks a lot Jon! Couldn't have done it without you 😃

[Rob @RobdoesPHYSICS]

@ChrisDaviesGeo Thanks Chris, it has been a fun 3 years of PhD!

[Rob @RobdoesPHYSICS]

@a_walker @StevenTobias7 @CDTFluidsLeeds @FluidsLeeds @ChrisDaviesGeo @ChthonicJon Thanks Andrew!
