Bike bottle smells like plastic; overnight in vinegar and water, then overnight with sodium bicarbonate and water. Now smells great but very scary how easily the plastic leached into the water.

Great to get back to cave monitoring and pretty cool to find beautiful ice stalagmites. #cave #WomenInSTEM

Beautiful day in the classic karst region near Trieste, Italy.

Good or bad: ending a conference presentation by saying "we still don't have any idea what is going on"?

Looking forward to the online 28th International Karstological School "classic karst" that starts this morning. With what better place to attend from than the classic karst itself

Congratulations to @WobRotson for an interesting and very professional talk at the International Karstological School this morning. You have set the bar high for the other presenters! UCD Earth Sciences

North Atlantic sea surface temperatures hit a record daily high on March 6, 2023. 325 consecutive days of record temperatures later, the North Atlantic is still setting daily records. It's f&%king insanity that the collapse of the planet is not the lead story every day.

Remember that time Goldilocks found the porridge that was just right and then decided to swap it for some stupidly hot porridge that would burn her face and make her sick and fuck everything up?

Survey respondents for the Global Risk Report 2024 identified "extreme weather" as the most likely to present a material crisis on a global scale in 2024. If so many people are worried, why is it's cause-climate change-not being addressed adequately in politics?
