@wwfcofficial hi @wwfcofficial that's great, thanks ever so much. The Carousel bus website shows no WW busses on New Years Day, so just thought worth mentioning!

[Tom Hill @TomCBHill]

@wwfcofficial hi! Are you able to confirm whether the WW1, WW2 and WW3 buses will be running for the new year game vs cardiff? Cheers!

[Tom Hill @TomCBHill]

@peatblogger @RolandGehrels it is a difficult one, not made much easier by my awful microscopy images 😂 but thanks for your thoughts!

[Tom Hill @TomCBHill]

Still struggling to identify these little beasties. Does anyone on the wonderful world of #pollen #palynomorphs #NPPs recognise these from microfossil slides? They look like #testateamoebae but I'm not too sure 🤔🤔🤔

[Tom Hill @TomCBHill]

Howdy Twitter #NPP friends! any idea what this little critter is? struggling to key out as an NPP, I thought perhaps a testate amoebae, but ever so transparent. In abundance in a sample of peat immediately overlain by alluvium (pre-flooding signal?)..... Any ideas?!?!!

[Tom Hill @TomCBHill]

@Fiafossil Hi Sofie! I don't think so, the surfaces have no obvious sculpturing, & these little things haven't taken up safranin staining like all the pollen grains in the sample. Plus, from a peat deposit, no evidence of other reworked material within the sample! Thanks for the suggestion!

One year to the day since my dad passed away. It’s been a hard year, but we have the fantastic memories. Dropped by to visit where we scattered his ashes this morning. RIP Dad xx

@MartaPerFer not familiar with it personally, but looks similar to KIU-163?

@TomCullen #Legend. And he uses the same MOT garage as me. And that is literally the best example I have of bumping into sort of famous people

@Amy_Gray_1 @young_isdr @vivjones2 @Hannaea_Fossil @DiatomsATTACK ps pretty good indicator of marine conditions, so assume saline influence within fjord

[Tom Hill @TomCBHill]

@Amy_Gray_1 @young_isdr @vivjones2 @Hannaea_Fossil @DiatomsATTACK apols for delay in seeing this. Yup, agree with previous replies: Scoliopleura tumida 😄

The study resulted from the analysis of offshore cores extracted by Ørsted, for the Hornsea Project 2 windfarm. The paper is a great example of what can be achieved through developer-led funding of research associated with infrastructure projects & the renewable energy transition

Now available open access and in print!

Coastal Lagoonal Evolution within the Early Holocene Humber Estuary

This paper, led by @mjg_298, reviews multiproxy analyses of offshore vibrocores & helps improve our understanding of Holocene sea-level rise!
