Having a great time at the EAUC conference. Lots of exciting conversations about sustainability and education and great session involving Alana Wheat 🌱 on partnership in esd! Institute for Sustainable Futures Keele University Green:Keele 🌱 Root & Branch Keele University 🐿️

A motivational start to the Advance HE #TLConf23, thank you to Kris Spelman Miller for sharing our commitment to sustainability Keele University 🐿️ The first day was closed by a timely panel featuring Antonia Law on Education for Sustainability Institute for Sustainable Futures Keele University #HigherEd #GreenKeele

Excited to be sending our first tweet ahead of our trip to this weekend! Working with Skye Beach Cleans, this is a multidisciplinary collaborative project, exploring changes and the status of the beach litter. Follow us here or at skyebeachcleans.co.uk to get involved!

The project will collaborate with local organisations and residents of Skye to walk in Scott’s footsteps, surveying beach litter, trialling new technologies, and sampling for microplastics and textile fibres. 🔬🚮

Operation in full swing led by @DrTStanton. Come and join us today at the location below from 10am! #skyebeachclean #beachclean #litter #skye

Everyone getting stuck in for our first successful day of #beachclean at #skye - three rubble bags identified, logged and removed!

While it doesn’t look like we shifted much, we cleared and surveyed 65kg of litter today… 40kg of which was fishing rope! Such a shame to see these beautiful places so impacted by #litter @DrTStanton @dccmckay Antonia Law #beachclean #skye

An unbelievable amount of #litter on the beach at Camasunary today. 65kg of litter surveyed and cleared from 500m2 over 4 hours with 6 people! Some interesting findings from trialling our novel high resolution survey methods too - watch this space! #beachclean #conservation

Come and join us at Dunvegan beach today! We’ll be at the castle view point #skye #litter #beachclean

Days like today when I really love my job! Taking water samples from the coast and from a #paddleboard, to look for microfibres and micro plastics - working in some stunning scenery 😁 #fieldwork #research #aquatic

Head nets out today, braving the midges at beautiful Dunvegan beach. Fascinating to see completely different litter - lots of glass and cermaics! Followed by some floor-based labwork back at camp #beachclean #litter Antonia Law Dr Melissa Duncan-Schiele @DrTStanton Savannah Worne @dccmckay

Filtering fun and jellyfish today at Neist Point beach, the most westerly place in #Skye. Loving working in these amazingly beautiful landscapes, even if lugging collected litter up the cliffs is hard work! #beachclean #marineconservation Antonia Law @DrTStanton

Before and after using the Marine Conservation Society #OSPAR #beachclean #litter survey method, with a fine tooth comb! Hundreds of pieces of litter in just a 2 m2 quadrat…doesn’t even make a dent on the amount we found at Ullinish today. Thanks to the crofting community for welcoming us 😊#Skye

Today we went back to Camasunary to use our high-resolution Marine Conservation Society #OSPAR method in a 1x1m quadrat . We found 1,061 pieces of #litter, just on the surface! When Antonia Law dug a little deeper, we found layer upon layer underneath - a perplexing scientific and social issue…

🏔️ News! 🏔️ GLOBAL glacier mass change data now available from #CryoSat 📊 Updates to CryoTEMPO-EOLIS mean we can observe glacier changes in greater detail than ever before 🧊 The glaciers covered include those of Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, Alaska, the Southern

Today is Celebrate Scientists Day! I have learnt so much from @dccmckay Antonia Law and @DrTStanton of ⁦ Institute for Sustainable Futures Keele University @keelegce and Loughborough University over the past few years, and I'm excited about our continuing research into 'natural' fibres at the bottom of Rudyard Lake.

Excited to see 👇documenting the research by the 50YOLS team last summer. Can’t wait to go back for more research this summer with the team by ⁦⁦@DrTStanton⁩ with ⁦@dccmckay⁩ ⁦Savannah Worne⁩ ⁦Dr Melissa Duncan-Schiele⁩ ⁦⁦Dr Catherine Sanders⁩ youtu.be/6G4LVAEn1s0?fe…

Always enjoyable to be out with our 1st year geography and environment students investigating upland and lowland environments in the Peak District Antonia Law @wallersaur Keele GGE
