After the hottest summer on record, catastrophic wildfires in Canada and Greece, and thousands killed by flooding in Libya, this would be outright lunacy. Britain should be leading by example. Get a grip Rishi Sunak bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Want to know about our latest fieldtrip to Mongolia in search of cave samples that help us study past permafrost? Look no further - our new PhD student Maria has written a blog post. Seb Breitenbach Geog & Env Sciences The Leverhulme Trust #mongolia #permafrost isoperm.net/dispatches-fro…

Such a tragic day for the Northeast. But as a 16 year old boy is arrested and some bay for blood, I can't help but think of this Simpsons episode. #SycamoreGap #SycamoreGapTree

This is outright offensive. A last ditch attempt from a government void of ideas and optimism. #generalelectionno

Hello Cave Nerds! I'll be presenting a poster on novel speleothem proxies to study permafrost at Saturday's BCRA Speleology Symposium. Come along and say hello! It's 2 for 1 as my esteemed colleague Chloe Snowling will be presenting her work too! bcra.org.uk/sym/

Can't make it down to tomorrow's #BCRAsymposium? Don't worry, you can check out my poster online. #permafrost #caves isoperm.files.wordpress.com/2023/10/bcra-2…

Mongolia samples have arrived on the building! Nothing beats the suspense of waiting to see what's inside... @seb

🥳Getting excited for our next seminar 🥳 On Wednesday 6th December, Dr Stuart Umbo (Dr Stuart Umbo), will be talking about 'Understanding environmental controls on permafrost using speleothems'. Registration and abstract: paleoclimatesociety.org/home/virtual-s……

📣This seminar is today!📣 Links will be sent out shortly so sign up at paleoclimatesociety.org/home/virtual-s… to join us for Dr Stuart Umbo's seminar!

Hello Onestream, can you tell me why you've just threatened me with a £220 bill for switching provider when I called and checked I wouldn't be charged? Then why do you make it so impossibly difficult to contact you to sort it out? Disgraceful behaviour

Loads of ISOPERM presence EGU this week. Check out session CL5.4, convened by our own Ola Kwiecien, featuring Franzi Lechleitner talking about organic carbon in speleothems and Seb Breitenbach who's presenting our work using speleothem drip cups for clumped isotopes

Planning your day for day at #EGU2024? Look no further than this afternoon's poster session (CL5.4) where Seb Breitenbach is presenting on clumped isotopes in speleothem drip cups. And if like me, you can't make it to Vienna, visit our website instead... isoperm.net/egu-2024/

The very talented Jade Margerum has a paper in pre-print for climates of the past. Check it out, and give us your thoughts... egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2024…

Hey #Newcastle! Come and see Vasile Ersek 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇷🇴🇺🇦, Chloe Snowling, and me at the Life Science Centre tomorrow. Experience what it's like to be a caver and find out how scientists use cave rocks to find out about the climate in the past.

Centre for Life - Earth Science Day. See what it's like to be a caver at Centre for Life today Life Science Centre #Newcastle #Outreach #cave #science

To friends old and new heading to the Clumped Isotope Workshop next week, drop me a line. Or come see my poster on Monday afternoon!

To those at today's Clumped Isotope Workshop, I'd love to see you at my poster today on speleothem drip cups. And to those that can't make it isoperm.net/iciw-2024/ #iciw2024 #clumped
