Happy birthday to James Hutton - the Father of Modern Geology! Hutton used Scottish rocks, like this exposure at Glen Tilt, to support theories of plutonism and deep time. Here granite intrudes and surrounds sedimentary rocks - evidence these rocks were once molten

So it appears many people have now worked themselves into a right wobble about Burqas (while posting pictures of Niqabs and Hijabs), and are once again demanding action - in the form of banning women’s clothing in the name of women’s rights. Which is… quite the approach. Let’s

Earth in 100 Seconds 🌍 What are we (mis)using Earth for? Would love to hear your thoughts on my new short film. Each second = 1% of global land use. What would you change if you had the power? Watch on YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=MshXmx… Please share widely. #EarthIn100Seconds

What do we think?🤔 Hmm…. A Daily Mail headline so clearly designed to make you furious. Being shared by salivating Tory MPs who love a good rage farming story! So, what’s going on here? Let’s take a look!👀 🧵 1/13

We've been doing a lot of work on vocab. Something I've been looking at today is using AI to create word lists with definitions divided into Tier 2&3 words from articles & books that we use. What a timesaver!! Article on regen in Northampton written by me. #geographyteacher

We are hosting ‘The Festival of Geography’ today - a collaboration between Geographical Association and RGS-IBG Schools. Everyone is currently doing a fieldwork activity in the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) garden with The Island Geographer - it's been a fabulous CPD day so far, with more to come!
