@4Viewers @realDaveDonald @Channel4 Is Arisaig really the westernmost train station in the UK though? Surely those in Northern Ireland would fit that bill with Derry being the furthest west. Britain yes, UK no.

[Dr Kirstin Lemon @rokmum]

@Translink_NI Can I get reimbursed for a train ticket that was activated earlier but wasn’t used as the trains to Grand Central were cancelled from Portadown?

[Dr Kirstin Lemon @rokmum]

It was a privilege and an honour to represent the UK today, talking about @GlobalGeoparks in the UK and now they use #geodiversity for sustainable development.

Here’s a blast from the last, from back when I wrote LOTS of blogs for the @BritGeoSurvey GeoBlogy. I recommend reading this with a cup of tea and some Easter egg for dunking….🐣🐣🐣

[British Geological Survey @BritGeoSurvey]

After you've finished eating your Easter eggs, why not read our six 'eggs-tremely' tenuous links between Easter and geology, featuring plate tectonics, bunny ears and a part of the Scottish Highlands:

@edcollard1 Nah. I’m sure I’ve got spices (nutmeg) older than that and I still use them. Same kind of thing surely 😉

[Dr Kirstin Lemon @rokmum]

Such sad news 💔. I had the privilege of spending a few weeks with Darryl filming Riverland for BBC NI. He had a great passion for the NI landscape, including our geology.

My thoughts go out to all of his family, especially at this time of year. https://t.co/t5hYda4aYX

🌋 Today is the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction #IDDRR 2022, started in 1989 by the United Nations General Assembly (@UN) as a day to promote a global culture of risk-awareness and disaster reduction.

Let's keep working to reduce #geohazard risks in our cities!

[Dr Kirstin Lemon @rokmum]

A great few days with the @AgeoAtlantic crowd! We’ve missed out on face to face meetings, like so many others, so these kinds of meetings are more important then ever. #collaboration #partnership

[Geological Survey NI @GeoSurveyNI]

We welcomed the @AgeoAtlantic project consortium to @GCausewayNT & @NTCarrickarede today.

As part of it, we’re working with @NationalTrustNI to understand rockfalls on site, improve risk management, increase local awareness of #geohazards

It’s International #GeodiversityDay and I am lucky to be in a job that lets me talk about #geodiversity on a daily basis. To celebrate, I’m sharing one of my favourite geology sites which is Ramore Head in #Portush. A key site in the development of #geology as a science.

[Dr Kirstin Lemon @rokmum]

@ChrisCorken Thanks Chris. Glad you enjoyed it!

[Dr Kirstin Lemon @rokmum]

Tonight I can finally watch #TheIsland on BBC2. If you want to find out more about the island of Ireland’s amazing geological history then tune in (or get it on iPlayer at your leisure). https://t.co/SZdk85gvx6
