Beyond pleased to share that our paper on how seasonal floods affect maternal health access on the Barotse Floodplain has now been published and is completely open access! This work was completed for my masters, and is my first first-author paper!

Woke up nice and early for a productive PhD morn. Instead, spent it destroying the bathroom cabinets in my new house because this young starling fledgling was trapped! Carpe diem, little dude!
Somebody in Birmingham somehow got my card details and spent £26 odd quid. It's not the money I feel violated about, it's the fact they went to so much effort to buy DOMINOES. Ugh.
I amused an undergrad yesterday when I commented the end of PhD has driven me crazy enough to be writing rough drafts of work on a typewriter first before moving to a computer. This is genuinely my desk!
Pleased to share our new paper on how climate change could affect the Barotse Floodplain, and the potential impacts for local livelihoods.
Open access in Earth's Future!
To understand how future #floods might change, rain and temperature data from five climate models were used to predict river flow and flood levels in the Barotse Floodplain in #Zambia.

Hey! @elonmusk your doge minions just fired me and my colleagues at CMMI. We were working on improving maternal health outcomes AT LOWER COSTS so that less pregnant women would die in this county. I thought that would fit nicely into your agenda?
Finally got around to joining Bluesky, so you can probably catch me over there now!

#PhD opportunity at @EdinburghUni
Background: #geography and #geosciences, computer/data sciences, ecology or social sciences
Methodology: Use use of #GIS, Satellite #EO data, #rstats, Python, open-source #geospatial data etc
Research questions
What are the key services for child health & wellbeing & can we estimate travel time to these across the chosen countries?
How many children live within 30-, 60- and 90-minute walking time of the nearest services?
Are travel time to key services associated with child multi-dimensional poverty?
How do we quantify flood water as a barrier to travel within the CPAS model?
What impacts do floods have on travel time across East Africa?

In the final year of my PhD, it is only know I have learned of the glorious @reciteworks which will do a reference check of your work. Genius tool for spotting little errors you miss!
Gotta love having an IT Manager as a partner. He's managed to fix my dodgy MS Teams issue in 5 minutes when it's been pissing me off for weeks.
It finally happened: an airline lost my bag! Concerningly, KLM have been totally incapable of even giving me a reference number so I can track the bag. Perhaps the 5 (!) other people on my flight are having better luck?
In addition to academia, I also dabble with music in a very Hannah Montana-esque lifestyle!
I released a single today so if you're also an academic who loves music, perhaps you'd like to give it a stream! Available everywhere!

Nothing we love more than getting to feature a debut single from a promising new band! Fall in love with Yorkshire, UK's @bandfeverdreams and their debut, "So Naive." thedailylistening.com/listen…
Absolutely horrific what Teeside University have chosen to do to their Nigerian students affected - through no fault of theirs! - by their country's economic crisis! Callous!

Don't use Sci-Hub — it's a "controversial" website with 84M+ research papers freely available.
We should try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.
Here's an updated thread on integrating Sci-Hub with Zotero to get free papers.
Please don't do this😉

How will changing patterns of malaria transmission interact with demographic change? Check out our new paper published in @ScienceMagazine! Led by @GeomorphMark et al. @SoGLeeds science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126…

Where might climatic suitability for malaria transmission change in future? In our paper published today in Science, we use hydrological models from @ISIMIPImpacts to examine the effect of hydrology on malaria suitability changes in Africa.
Love to see it.
