Dr. Ricardo Ramalho & Dr @ShastaMtn of @cu_earth feature in this recent edition of the European Geoscience Union blog!
A day in the life captured on fieldwork, as they investigate the geomorphology of basaltic island terrains in Cape Verde.

Fantastic to have this collaboration with the Greenland GEUS Office and @DrPennyHow kick off!
Looking forward to seeing the data roll in not only for science, but for the local and international outreach it'll allow us to do 🇬🇱🇬🇧

Phones - not just for robocalls! Maybe I should start answering the random numbers that call me🤣
The surreal moment you get a phone call from a strange number, and it's @DrPennyHow on a sat phone next to a glacier in Greenland asking which way I wanted a time lapse camera to point 😅

I know I have lots of friends with great advice on this - that's where I learned most of my tricks! Time to share with the world and make this easier for everyone ☺️
The @UKPolarNetwork, the UK branch of APECS, has assembled a survey to examine people’s experiences of toileting and menstruation during remote #fieldwork to help us put together training materials on the topic.

Going out on a high note - a great last session for me at #INQUARoma2023! Reconstructing quaternary ice sheets. So many #cosmogenicnuclides 😍

I am constantly impressed by my multilingual colleagues. I only did one year of undergrad in a foreign language and that was tough - can't imagine how much harder academia would be!
How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.
