Off to the #AmazonRainforest to meet Josh Ahmed today for some oxbow lake surveying—hope my flights are better than the nightmare that Prof. Dan Parsons @LboroUniversity 🌏💧🛰🌊⚽️🏏⛳🏈 experienced 👀

A gentle start for the real work beginning today!

🤝 The Geopark is pleased to announce that we have signed a wide-ranging agreement with Loughborough University, covering topics of collaboration including research, education, and public engagement. 🌐 Read more on our website: charnwoodforest.org/geopark-signs-…

Fantastic to see this collaboration🤝between Loughborough University and the world renowned Charnwood Forest Geopark right on our doorstep. A great reason to come and study Loughborough Geography and Environment and lots of opportunities for research collaboration too charnwoodforest.org/our-geosites/

So pleased w/ this agreement, partnership & potential for collaborative working & impact. Charnwood Forest Geopark hosts some of t/ most important fossils globally recording t/ explosion of life on earth. Looking fwd to seeing the park build to UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 accreditation 💜🙌 Josh Wolstenholme Dr Jo Jennings

Great to welcome our partners from Charnwood Forest Geopark and Councillor Martin Cartwright to campus. An important partnership agreement for impact and building to UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 accreditation. Fossils, rocks and heritage 💜 Prof. Dan Parsons @LboroUniversity 🌏💧🛰🌊⚽️🏏⛳🏈 Dr Jack J Matthews

A tough, but rewarding 36 hours accessing the second oxbow lake to understand seasonal and long-term changes in lake physiochemistry. Excited to see what the water and sediment samples will tell us and to work with Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) to share these secrets more widely #TeamOxbow

Fantastic couple of days exploring Oxbow lakes in Bolivia!

Another day of processing ahead of our trip to the third and final lake of the trip. Cores opened and sediment segmented for further chemical and physical analysis. A sand lense in one of the lakes indicates flooding or reoccupation before returning to calm conditions #TeamOxbow

Great to wrap up surveying on the third and final oxbow lake. Water profiling complete, lake-bed cores extracted, and my first glimpse of the infamous Bolivian Caiman - well, kind of... #TeamOxbow

Last lake complete! Great week with Josh Ahmed boating around the Rio Mamore #TeamOxbow

A tough 8 hours bent over our cores, but finally all segmented and bagged for further analysis on their chemical and physical characteristics 👌🥵 #TeamOxbow

Travel home begins! First an overnight bus, now a 6 hour wait, two more flights and a taxi! Great time in Bolivia for #TeamOxbow

A mega two weeks in Bolivia collecting essential data to further our understanding of the controls and functioning of oxbow lakes. Great to have Josh Wolstenholme & Prof. Dan Parsons @LboroUniversity 🌏💧🛰🌊⚽️🏏⛳🏈 to help out and I look forward to analysing our findings w/Savannah Worne over the next few months! #TeamOxbow

There’s a first time for everything! Quick snap from my first visit to my academic home for the next 4 years 📚 LboroSSEHS NCSEM East Midlands #EarlyChildhood #ChildHealth #Flooding #ClimateResilience

Had the best couple of days meeting some lovely people and hearing about loads of really exciting projects. Interesting to hear people call my research area ‘niche’, but then aren’t all PhD topics niche? Also good to raise awareness of MPhils as another route to research! 🤓

So happy that this has come through! Welcome Jack! Looking forward to working with you in the near future 😄 Loughborough Geography and Environment

Working with my CASE partners Environment Agency as part of my CENTA PhD. In conjunction with Catchment Sensitive Farming Defra UK Natural England Forestry Commission I have produced a small case study on my research into biodiversity of sediment ponds - tinyurl.com/yc4mrffm

I am currently advertising 4 PhD projects on range of topics: - Geomorph mitigation of contaminated sediments - Geomorph controls on flooding - Flooding controls on aeolian activity - River-driven volcanic landscape evolution More details: edwinbaynes.wordpress.com App by 8/1/25

Thanks for an awesome seminar Dr Jack J Matthews Charnwood Forest Geopark - delighted with you joining us through a formal visiting position too. Lots of collaborative fun to be had Josh Wolstenholme Dr Jo Jennings 💜🙌
