Don’t know about the rest of you, but I could do with a hibernacle right now and it’s only 9th December! #festivefatigue 🎄🎄🎄

Delighted to Chair the Geoparks, Climate Change & Geohazards session UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 UNESCO Global Geoparks International Conference hosted virtually by #JejuGeopark. Also got the opportunity to speak about the UK UGGps great work towards #climatechange #mitigation & #adaptation. #GGN2020

Never a truer word spoken Joe Wicks Christmas as a grown-up isn’t all it’s cracked up to be 🎄🎉

Dissertation submitted today and thus bringing my 2.5 year MSc journey SOAS University of London to an end. I could honestly cry with relief. I’m not going to say it’s been easy but it has been fantastic. #ClimateChange #sustainabledevelopment 🌍 🌎 🌏

It’s official, I now have a MSc in Climate Change and Development from SOAS University of London 🎉🎉 Lockdown had few advantages, but this was one of them as I don’t think I could have done it otherwise!

Do you fancy having a look around the Geological Survey NI Core Store and finding out about NI’s amazing #geodiversity? Join us on 1 October for a great day out to celebrate International #GeodiversityDay!

Great to see a first glimpse of #TheIsland covering the island of Ireland’s amazing 1.8 billion year geological journey. I’m in there somewhere in episode 1 talking about Giant's Causeway. I’ll be watching through my fingers 🫣🫣

Tonight I can finally watch #TheIsland on BBC2. If you want to find out more about the island of Ireland’s amazing geological history then tune in (or get it on iPlayer at your leisure). bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

It’s International #GeodiversityDay and I am lucky to be in a job that lets me talk about #geodiversity on a daily basis. To celebrate, I’m sharing one of my favourite geology sites which is Ramore Head in #Portush. A key site in the development of #geology as a science.

A great few days with the AGEO Observatories crowd! We’ve missed out on face to face meetings, like so many others, so these kinds of meetings are more important then ever. #collaboration #partnership

🌋 Today is the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction #IDDRR 2022, started in 1989 by the United Nations General Assembly (United Nations) as a day to promote a global culture of risk-awareness and disaster reduction. Let's keep working to reduce #geohazard risks in our cities!

The 66th Irish Geological Research Meeting (IGRM) will be held in Ulster Museum on 3-5 March. This all-Island annual event comprises 2-3 days of talks and networking for anybody interested in Irish #geoscience research. Click below for more info: eventbrite.co.uk/e/66th-irish-g…

Such sad news 💔. I had the privilege of spending a few weeks with Darryl filming Riverland for BBC NI. He had a great passion for the NI landscape, including our geology. My thoughts go out to all of his family, especially at this time of year. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northe…

Here’s a blast from the last, from back when I wrote LOTS of blogs for the British Geological Survey GeoBlogy. I recommend reading this with a cup of tea and some Easter egg for dunking….🐣🐣🐣

We have a new @unesco Global Geopark in the UK! The MourneGullionStrangford Geopark has been officially designated and becomes one of 195 around the world. Amazing achievement 🎉🎊

If you’re looking for something to do this evening…
