One of our listeners, Andy, wants to know: If a desert is full of sand, where did all that sand come from? @CarolineSteel3 investigates with @TLS_Queen @SandStreamers and @andzerb bbc.in/3Jp0xJc

Lonely desert dunes have a romantic image, but how did they get there in the first place?

It's #SustainabilityTipTuesday ! This week we want to celebrate @UoBrisSust and their #BeTheChange campaign. 🔌 To reduce electricity waste, ensure laptops and computers are switched off when not in use, and that screensavers aren't being used as they use a lot of energy

To learn more about #Enactus and the incredible work Gracie Horton is part of click here: buff.ly/3EptHUl. @UoSGeogEnv
The top of the picture is the university of Southampton logo, followed by a quote that reads- "Seeds for Thought is one of the projects run by Enactus Southampton. It is a local hydroponics project that reduces food inequality, improves food nutrition and increases access to quality food for children in need, all whilst using 90% less water and no soil."

In light of #geoweek take a look at professor Emma Tompkins’s amazing work here: buff.ly/3hPWwld. @UoSGeogEnv @unisouthampton
The top of the image is the University of Southampton logo, followed by a quote ""We are working with students in Ghana to help them identify an invasive seaweed (sargassum). Equipping them with the knowledge to recognise different species. This knowledge will help managers understand the problem better and might allow for commercial enterprises to clear up the seaweed to re-use it for profit".

In late March I had the opportunity to join the TOAD (The Origin of Aeolian Dunes) project for a two-week field campaign at Great Sand Dunes National Park (GSD), Colorado. I thoroughly enjoyed gaining experience in the field and acquiring an insight into academic work.
