Are you a woman who does polar research and fieldwork?
Please consider participating in a survey on lived experiences in the field, led by PhD students for a review article as part of a collaboration between the journal PLOS Climate and members of APECS.

"In a choice between fossil fuels and a liveable planet, the government has chosen oil and gas. For scientists who have dedicated their lives to research, this is hard to take."

Large-scale dust storms in Southern Alaska could be having more influence on the earth’s climate than previously thought.

What role do Alaskan dust storms play in the world’s climate? New research by @Sarah_Barr and @benjohnmurray from @SEELeeds & @AtmosScience suggests the effect is bigger than previously thought. ⬇️
Recent discoveries have cast a spotlight on dust storms in the Gulf of Alaska, revealing their potential role in global climate dynamics. dlvr.it/Stl1N9
Pleased to report that our paper (and the first publication from my PhD) showing that southern Alaska is an important source of ice-nucleating particles is out now in @ScienceAdvances:

Senior management @UniversityLeeds once again refusing to comment on the issues they've created and showing that their priorities do not lie with those who work so hard to make this the 'world-class institution' that they'll be banging on about at today's open day. #ucuRISING
ITV Calendar News ~5 mins in, on @leedsucu + @UoLUnison strike!
Worth watching even if only to witness @UniversityLeeds' senior management's idea of a sufficiently serious response to media questions about the situation *they're* responsible for

Abolish the monarchy, not the right to protest
As we speak the whole core team of Republic is still being detained. We are not given a reason. They will probably be released when the whole monarchy pr-show is over.

Hi @UniversityLeeds will the Vice Chancellor be coming to talk to anyone on the picket line or does she only come out for princesses? Asking for a friend (@ucu @leedsucu @UCUPostgrads). #ucustrikes

Thanks to whoever updated the Wikipedia entry of Alexander Darwall, whose nimby campaign to ban wild camping on #Dartmoor has just been upheld in the courts.

This is sad news. For the health of our nation, now is the time when we should be extending access to nature, not taking away.
We’ll fight on. @EveryonesStars @DartmoorDPA @CampaignerKate

Simply banning people from accessing nature is not the way to protect it, education is. People care about and learn the most from places they have a connection with, like so many of us do with Dartmoor. #RightToRoam
