Ey up! The CRAGHOPPERS store in Ilkley is proper Yorkshire 👌

We woke at 5:30am today to watch our passage through Antarctica Sound - such a contrast to 48 hours ago. We’ve arrived in Antarctica and this will live long in my memory. #AntarcticPICCOLO University of Leeds UEA School of Environmental Sciences Plymouth Marine Lab British Antarctic Survey 🐧 SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) University of St Andrews Univ of Plymouth

Wow. The lengths people go to to help us out on Calendar - thanks so much Dr Will Homoky for taking so much trouble to join us on the programme tonight . Watch again on our North programme on ITVX

Three Earth and Environment at Leeds researchers, Dr Will Homoky Alastair Lough, Chiara Krewer, and 32 scientists from across the UK have embarked on a two month expedition to the Antarctic to examine the role the cold polar seas play in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere 🌊

A dawn blizzard through Lemaire Channel and we’ve just crossed the line of the Antarctic Polar Circle! Oceanographer’s love stamp-collecting their lats & longs. This is 66.7S 🤩 #AntarcticPICCOLO

That time (a few years ago now) I made some clouds..... #wildweather is back! bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

We picked our path carefully between ice, orcas 🐋 and seals 🦭 on yesterday’s journey through The Gullet of the West Antarctic Peninsula #AntarcticPICCOLO University of Leeds UEA School of Environmental Sciences Plymouth Marine Lab University of St Andrews British Antarctic Survey 🐧 University of Plymouth

It's #IWD2024 and yet 97% of women in West Yorkshire feel unsafe in their local park after dark according to research by University of Leeds This initiative could make a real difference 👇👇👇 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Parks staff and volunteers in West Yorkshire are being trained to intervene when they spot cases of discrimination, harassment or bullying in public spaces 🌳 The bystander training follows research by @law_leeds, which found that most women and girls feel unsafe in parks 👭

The lengths University of Leeds researchers go to in the name of climate science 🤩

Being in the Lake District meant we had a great backdrop for our own explainer on the recent monster weather system that deluged the UAE recently. Great work @joerobinson00 Polly Foster plus a great animation from Simon too! tiktok.com/@universityofl… #DubaiFlooding

Just to be absolutely clear, this was nothing whatsoever to do with #Cloudseeding, #GeoEngineering, or any other conspiracy claptrap that is doing the rounds. The MCS (mesoscale convective system) that generated the massive thunderstorms was larger than the UK!!! HT @simon_sat

It’s #CleanAirDay 🌍 With air pollution a key problem in cities, Leeds academics @CathNoakes, Jim McQuaid 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 and Dr James Tate discuss ways to create cleaner air in our recent podcast series ‘How to Fix…’, hosted by @ItsRichWilliams. Listen now 👂👇 listen.podmasters.uk/HTFCleanAir?at…

Scientists from Earth and Environment at Leeds and Cardiff University have helped to recover the first long section of rocks that originated in the Earth’s mantle, the layer below the crust. These rocks could help unravel the mantle’s important role in the makeup and evolution of our planet🌍

Fantastic to work on this with @KJPringle and many others, it shows what a great team can produce. Thanks to Gary Fuller for the words. Obviously inspired by Ed Hawkins original #climatestripes. Also via The Conversation theconversation.com/these-colourfu…

New images reveal global air quality trends 🌍 The global concentrations of one of the main air pollutants known to affect human health have been graphically illustrated for the first time by a team of scientists from Leeds, NC State University, Software Sustainability Institute, EPCC and Met Office - UK.

The air quality stripes highlight significant improvements in air quality across much of Europe and alarming deterioration in parts of Africa and Central Asia The stripes show reducing air pollution is possible but more work needs to be done globally 👇 leeds.ac.uk/main-index/new…

Researchers from Geography at Leeds and Aberystwyth University will climb beyond Mount Everest's base camp to test if snow high up on the mountain is melting. This follows initial findings which showed that the temperature of ice at its foot is warmer than expected given the local air temperature🏔️

Himalayan glaciers may be melting faster than expected; threatening water supply in surrounding countries.

Good morning and happy Friday. Just a note to say that I am leaving this platform. From now on you can find me on Bluesky Social and LinkedIn.
