So, the headline issues with lake science (so far...) appears to consist of managing lots of plastic bottles, having a consistent labelling convention and sneaking the sampling equipment into your hotel room to give it a shower (to prevent invasive species transfer) after use.

Getting ready for the festivalofnature.org.uk by road testing the augmented reality sand table (with the help of my "big kids"). This Sunday in Bath - tickets at the website. Hope to see you there. #FON23

The river Garw which runs through Bryngarw Country Park near Bridgend. It a wildlife haven. You will see dippers and kingfishers diving for their supper. It is also just a couple of miles from the 2 most overused combined sewer overflows in Wales. [Thread]

They call themselves patriots. But they are trashing all that is good and beautiful about our country. Nothing symbolises this gleeful destruction more powerfully than the state of our rivers. My latest film for Double Down News doubledown.news/watch/2023/jun…

Just been doing a bit of preliminary river catchment research and I found these great UK map resources (in addition to GIS). gridreferencefinder.com - whatever map reference system onto whatever map. maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/si… - compare historical and current maps side by side

Poignant as fuck 🩰👣😭 From a friend at the Roskilde festival: “where Denmark’s most famous ballerina got up on stage and performed the dance of the dying swan, while slowly being covered with crude oil 😭 genuinely devastating” #ballet #oil #art #JustStopOil #selfProtest

Testing my underwater micro-glider yesterday (at a top secret location). I know that I shouldn't be amazed but, after looking at the data this morning, I see that the flight path was very similar to the modelling work. 😁 BathEngAndDes Paul Whitehouse bob mortimer

This is an interesting affect that I had not thought about. Clean air zones pushing the problem to different locations. Need to tackling the root problem and not just the symptoms ! BBC News - Air pollution rises in Westbury after Bath CAZ begins bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Good on you Chris (and good luck at the University of Bath) Very much looking forward (before the general election ) to giving my verdict on the last 14 years of Tory Government. BBC News - Chris Skidmore: Tory MP quits over new oil and gas licences bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Very pleased to say that I passed my PhD viva today (with minor corrections). Whilst I have really loved doing a PhD, I am also very relieved that it is now (almost) over.
