Sad to be finishing our #fieldwork on #NorthRona2018 with @tectonictweets and @AnnaBirdian. Many thanks to @NLB_UK and NLV Pharos crew to have made our geological adventure possible. Time to go home and plot some stereonets! @DurUniEarthSci @GeologyHull

-What strategic drivers are needed for #hydrogen ?
-What difference or change would you like to see in #hydrogenenergy storage by 2050?
Some questions we were asking at the @UKHyRES workshop. Thank you to the HyRES team for organising an incredibly interesting day!
Honoured to give this plenary talk at the @H2FCSupergen #conference in St Andrews on #hydrogen storage in porous rocks. Plenty of new faces and ideas emerged from the conference and I'll certainly be taking feedback home with me!
Closing the conference in style, @TimArmitage2 talks to us about where we can store hydrogen as a gas in geological spaces in the UK 😮 salt caverns are available but today we are talking porous rocks 🪨 @H2FCSupergen conf. really has been fuel cells, hydrogen and rock’n’roll 🤟🏼
Shetland shows complex array of opposing shear sense orientations. Could this be evidence for ductile extrusion during the Caledonian orogeny? Check out our presentation at #vEGU21 session TS7.11 @DurUniEarthSci

Extrusion of ductile material in transpression zones has been modelled by rarely observed. On Friday, @TimArmitage2 will discuss how extrusion is a kinematic necessity and show an example from Shetland — presenting at #TSG50. – at Durham, England

1/ The MHRA has approved a longer gap between doses for both the AstraZeneca vaccine and the Pfizer vaccine. The latter has concerned some people. Specifically many are citing a figure of 52% for protection after the first dose.
Here is why this 52% figure isn't useful [1/n]

Very proud of Zach and team for their great work @NWHGeopark which has been featured in @NatGeo!! 🌍🌍🌍 @DurUniEarthSci nationalgeographic.com/scien…
Are you interested in fault reactivation? Are you curious about Shetland? Intrigued by transpression? Then check out my new paper! @IapetusDTP @DU_Structural @DurUniEarthSci #PhD #Shetland jgs.lyellcollection.org/cont…

New paper! Today we take you to Shetland! From @TimArmitage2 and others! "Late Carboniferous dextral transpressional reactivation of the crustal-scale Walls Boundary Fault, Shetland: the role of pre-existing structures and lithological heterogeneities"

Our annual bbq couldn't happen this summer 😢 so we had a department-wide quiz instead! Hello to everyone from us at @DurUniEarthSci!
Huge thanks to @TimArmitage2 and @Volcannabelle for organising! 🎉🥳

Was a great experience hosting my first #webinar. Thanks Faultea for having me and see you next week! #conferencecall #Zoom #StayHome #phdchat #phdpandemic
Thanks @TimArmitage2 for a great talk on your research on the Walls Boundary Fault in #Shetland!! Great to catch up with the group on Zoom this time, looking forward to next week ☕☕ @DurUniEarthSci @durham_uni #geologydogs

The first virtual Faultea meeting was a tea-riffic success! Fun to catch up with colleagues and friends via Microsoft Tea-ms. Looking forward to next week ☕☕ @DurUniEarthSci @durham_uni
