We’re excited to co-host you in Manchester, alongside @PhysGeogMMU, for the #QRA24 conference!
See you on Thursday!
• iTrax workshop in morning
• @QuaternaryRA_UK AGM from 13:30
• @wiley keynote lecture by Dorthe Dahl-Jensen from 17:00 &

Happy New Year all! We hope you all had a restful winter break and looking forward to 2024!
We have some exciting things happening this year in our 60th anniversary year kicking off with the ADM in Manchester on Thursday😃
Stop 2: looking out across at a landslide, with thanks to Brandon from National Highways for explaining the stabilisation approaches here.
Paraglacial processes creating geohazards
#QRA24
Stop 1 was Lumb Mill in the Irwell Valley to view erratics and some unearthed organics from the BA. Then walking along a hypothesised kame terrace & viewing a WW1 zeppelin bomb site #QRA24
Our final speaker Jane Hart looking at how to quantify subglacial processes in soft bedded glaciers with some fabulous field kit #QRA24
& thanks to Jane for all her ongoing work as President of @QuaternaryRA_UK
(catch up) Megan Edwards took us back to the RISeR sampling region, to explore the sedimentological & geochemical records within these marine cores #QRA24
Then former @GeographyUOM member @amymcg gave a wonderful presentation on ‘throwing all’ the geochronological techniques at marine cores from RISeR, where there is a mystery of some missing sediment…
#QRA24
Skipping back to sedimentary record session. James Scourse gave a wonderful tour of the exciting proxies within the high resolution records provided by molluscan bivalve sclerochronology #QRA24
Louise Callard took us to the NE Greenland Ice Stream, using marine core sediments to reconstruct ice-ocean interactions over the past 19,000 years using marine cores
#QRA24
Bravo to two amazing ECRs @RosieArcherr & @TessaSpano for keeping the conversation going on the barriers to women in (Quaternary) geosciences - excellent talk ladies ! @QuaternaryRA_UK#QRA24@sheffielduni
Two absolutely great talks from @BeckyBriant @RosieArcherr and Tessa Spano. These talks were very inspiring and continues the conversation of inclusivity in Quaternary Science #QRA24
Stoked to be awarded the Dorothea Bate award for our study on Central Asian loess - with @loess_kathryn, Giancarlo, Lenka and Saida!! Thanks to @QuaternaryRA_UK and JQS for the recognition!
First up in session 4 is @BeckyBriant
exploring the problems of parachute science and the impetus for ensuring ethical and equitable knowledge production
