All done and dusted. Thank you to all our participants from both academia and industry and elsewhere for such a fascinating and constructive meeting. Once we have all had a bit of a lie down we will be back to our plans to save the 🌎 #QRAADM2023 Engineering Group QRA

If you missed it or just want to rewatch - we have a recording of @Davyg50 Wiley Lecture 'Quaternary engineering geology - are we there yet?' from the QRA ADM in January available on the Engineering Group youtube channel - youtube.com/watch?v=sVaF7x…. Worth a look!

Fantastic to visit Earth and Environment at Leeds @geo_futures Year in Industry students at Fugro today, who are directly experiencing the role geosciences have to play in the energy transition. As discussed QRA Engineering Research Group conference, a pipeline of geological talent is key to realising NetZero.

Following an impassioned case for a larger MIS 6 glaciation than previously recognised from Seb Gibson we are now hearing from Vincenzo Oriano about technical characteristics of glaciofluvial sediments Engineering Group HS2 Ltd QRA

And that's a wrap! So much new knowledge from the once in a lifetime infrastructure project that is HS2 Ltd and great conversations about how to continue the Learning Legacy. Watch this space! QRA Engineering Group

A few highlights from last weekend's field trip around London - no exposures but plenty of excellent science #urbangeology #engineeringgeology QRA

No QRA #QRA24 for me. But lots of exciting @ESSILeeds research being presented. Check out Amy MᶜGuire questioning the Quaternary chronostratigraphy of the S. North Sea and Megan Edwards presenting our new palaeoenvironmental reconstructions from the RISeR project [1/2]

We are converging on Manchester for #QRA24, keen to showcase what our QRA funding has achieved so far and our plans for the next 3 years. If you see this on someone's name badge, ask away!
