Welcome to day 3

First up in session 4 is Dr Becky Briant exploring the problems of parachute science and the impetus for ensuring ethical and equitable knowledge production #QRA24

Rosie and Tessa exploring the barriers to talking about barriers to women’s inclusion in Quaternary Science #QRA24

Two absolutely great talks from Dr Becky Briant Rosie Archer and Tessa Spano. These talks were very inspiring and continues the conversation of inclusivity in Quaternary Science #QRA24

Bravo to two amazing ECRs Rosie Archer & @TessaSpano for keeping the conversation going on the barriers to women in (Quaternary) geosciences - excellent talk ladies ! QRA #QRA24 The University of Sheffield

Congratulations Aditi! 🥳

Louise Callard took us to the NE Greenland Ice Stream, using marine core sediments to reconstruct ice-ocean interactions over the past 19,000 years using marine cores #QRA24

Neil McDonald exploring Minch palaeo-ice stream laminations You can read more ⬇️ doi.org/10.1016/j.qsa.… #QRA24

Check out these lovely posters on glacial and periglacial sediments a s landforms in the poster session #QRA24

QEG’s Phil Hughes (& our Manchester Geography HoD) takes us to the High Atlas to investigate Pleistocene & Holocene glaciation High Atlas Research #QRA24

Helen Dulfer presenting work as part of PalGlac on reconstructing the former ice margin(s) of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet #QRA24

More from PalGlac on Scandinavian Ice Sheet from Ben Boyes using wonderful LiDAR imagery #QRA24

Please take the time, after enjoying your lunch, to peruse the posters. There is a fabulous line up in the atrium nearest to the lecture room #QRA24

Skipping back to sedimentary record session. James Scourse gave a wonderful tour of the exciting proxies within the high resolution records provided by molluscan bivalve sclerochronology #QRA24

Then former Manchester Geography member Amy MᶜGuire gave a wonderful presentation on ‘throwing all’ the geochronological techniques at marine cores from RISeR, where there is a mystery of some missing sediment… #QRA24

(Catch up) Irene Waajen presented a fantastic record through the Brown Bank Formation, which records the MIS5-4 transition in the North Sea #QRA24

(catch up) Megan Edwards took us back to the RISeR sampling region, to explore the sedimentological & geochemical records within these marine cores #QRA24

Our final speaker Jane Hart looking at how to quantify subglacial processes in soft bedded glaciers with some fabulous field kit #QRA24 & thanks to Jane for all her ongoing work as President of QRA

Stop 2: looking out across at a landslide, with thanks to Brandon from National Highways for explaining the stabilisation approaches here. Paraglacial processes creating geohazards #QRA24

Stop 1 was Lumb Mill in the Irwell Valley to view erratics and some unearthed organics from the BA. Then walking along a hypothesised kame terrace & viewing a WW1 zeppelin bomb site #QRA24
