Last week I had a brilliant time on the Natural Environment Research Council 3D and 4D imaging (XCT) course in Manchester lead by Kate Dobson. Certainly has some fascinating potential applications to my current PhD work!

While not as extensive as at my usual Pen-y-ghent pilgrimage, it was wonderful to see Purple Saxifrage on the basalt escarpment of Benevenagh, Co. Londonderry today BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland BSBI Ireland Binevenagh & Coastal Lowlands LPS @cedarnmni

Thoroughly enjoyed my first conference presenting my PhD topic- to Sea Level and Coastal Change QRA working group this afternoon. Thank you for making me feel welcome and I'm looking forward to hopefully bringing my first data next year in person!

Crikey, where has the autumn gone!? Two months late to post, it was fantastic to present my preliminary research from #EPStromNet Western Australia at the QRA PG Symposium at Durham University. Thanks to all who made it happen. Geography and Environmental Sciences QRA

Announcing this years postgraduate conference to be hosted by Queen’s University, Belfast from the 29 -31st August! This is a great opportunity to showcase your research in a friendly environment, and get to know other Quaternary ECRs. Registration will be open soon!

Rather late, but, had a fascinating time at the NHM Botany Taxonomic Principles and Tools in Botanical Research course, specialising in Bryophytes, last month Natural History Museum. A fantastic insight behind the scenes with a sunny field trip to Thursley Common, what's not to enjoy?

Looking forward to a great day of presentations and posters at the IQUA spring meeting. A pleasure to design the logo feat. Irish Elk, Mountain Avens (Dryas) and the Mourne Mountains.

Had a great day at the IQUA Spring meeting and AGM on Saturday hosted at Geography and Environmental Sciences. Some great Quaternary themed presentations and discussion- it was a pleasure to present at, and highly appreciative to have won the Best Postgraduate Presentation Award.

The 1st ISROC network Inundation Signatures on Rocky Coastlines Field School on St. CROIX, USVI. Another fantastic week in the Caribbean with a great group of participants- learnt a lot about coastal boulder deposits that I hope to put to good use! Geography and Environmental Sciences
