It's been a productive week moving onto the analysis and writing of my second results chapter, with some quality downtime in the evenings now the weather is looking better 🥰🌞

We left the dry south of Tenerife to investigate the amazing management of water and use of hydropower in NW Tenerife thanks to Sharon Backhouse Ignacio Garcia Jaime Coello Bravo for TEES: TU Earth & Environmental Science students Teesside University can you spot the goats?

Couldn’t stay away! A great first day in the field with the TEES: TU Earth & Environmental Science students, focusing on different volcanic eruption types and hazards. Plus we were absolutely spoiled with incredible views of La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera 🌋

Officers have condemned the vandalism of an iconic #Northumberland tree and vowed to bring anyone responsible to justice.

A full investigation has been launched after the Sycamore Gap Tree was felled overnight in what police believe to be a deliberate act of vandalism. (1/3)

Congratulations on your PhD submission Dr Becca W🌋 !! Your thesis offers a fascinating insight into an intermediate ocean island eruption and represents years of hard work, with a global pandemic thrown in. Enjoy your celebrations and a well-deserved rest! 🥳🎉🌋

Well done, Becca! Seems like only yesterday we were hiking around on Ascension Island scratching our heads, and now you've sorted it. A great pleasure to have worked with you. Enjoy your week off!

So proud to see Dr Becca W🌋 get this submitted today- well done superstar 🌟 🌋

Humanity generates an average of 7 Kg of technological waste per person per year. Only 20% of this waste is recycled. Students from TEES: TU Earth & Environmental Science visited different industrial sites like #renewableenergy & #wasteplants . Dr Becca W🌋 Teesside University Logistics: Sharon Backhouse

Very interesting day with TEES: TU Earth & Environmental Science looking at the intense pressure Tenerife is under from Tourism and the climate. Dr Becca W🌋 Ignacio Garcia

Scorching day seeing the pressure from Tourism that southern Tenerife is under and some of the curious stratigraphy underneath thanks to Dr Becca W🌋. TEES: TU Earth & Environmental Science

A single banana (135 gr approx) needs about 27 litres of water to be produced on the island of Tenerife, which makes this crop unsustainable.
