Day 48 of lockdown for us. We're shielding. I'm trying to finish this degree, work (from home) & parent / educate a kid with SEN. Geology Twitter is keeping me sane. Thanks ๐

Todayโs โAncient Air' meeting @UniversityLeeds was fascinating. For me the take-home message was that even the โfastestโ event in earth history was an order of magnitude slower than the rate of current climate change ๐ฎ Thanks @yorksgeolsoc @SEELeeds for a v thought-provoking day

As the rain falls across the UK and the nights draw in, have a look at the Open University Geological Society ougs.org/ โ reading material for autumnal nights, camaraderie, lectures and more!

Having a brilliant day being filmed by @BBCTheOneShow on the North Norfolk coast today. @BritGeoSurvey Engineering Geologist David Boon is talking about how landslides work and why they happen here - like the one last week at Sidestrand. Itโll be on the telly next week!

For #MineralMonday hereโs my lovely specimen of yellow #fluorite from the Hilton Mine in #Cumbria. Fluorite comes in many different colours, but the Hilton mine is famous for this rare yellow variety. Itโs also fluorescent in UV too! #geology @uniofyorkcll

Thank you @drakesimon11 What an amazing few days for our members, learning geological mapping. 3 days ago many of them couldnโt do dips and strike. Now they can draw a map, do a field description and have completed a map. @DiGMapGB @OU_EEE @GeolAssoc @OpenUniGeolSoc @S309geology

Come on @OpenUniversity! Why have I just received exam scripts for monitoring in plastic packaging? This is non-recyclable and non-reusable, unlike paper. We alerted the country about plastic waste in #blueplanet2 and yet we do something irresponsible like this #singleuseplastics
