Day 48 of lockdown for us. We're shielding. I'm trying to finish this degree, work (from home) & parent / educate a kid with SEN. Geology Twitter is keeping me sane. Thanks ๐

Todayโs โAncient Air' meeting @UniversityLeeds was fascinating. For me the take-home message was that even the โfastestโ event in earth history was an order of magnitude slower than the rate of current climate change ๐ฎ Thanks @yorksgeolsoc @SEELeeds for a v thought-provoking day โ at Leeds, England

#OpenUniversityGeoSoc thank you for a great few days at #Coniston #LakeDistrict looking at #volcanic deposits and #geologicalmapping. I had a great time.

Having a brilliant day being filmed by @BBCTheOneShow on the North Norfolk coast today. @BritGeoSurvey Engineering Geologist David Boon is talking about how landslides work and why they happen here - like the one last week at Sidestrand. Itโll be on the telly next week!

For #MineralMonday hereโs my lovely specimen of yellow #fluorite from the Hilton Mine in #Cumbria. Fluorite comes in many different colours, but the Hilton mine is famous for this rare yellow variety. Itโs also fluorescent in UV too! #geology @uniofyorkcll

Come on @OpenUniversity! Why have I just received exam scripts for monitoring in plastic packaging? This is non-recyclable and non-reusable, unlike paper. We alerted the country about plastic waste in #blueplanet2 and yet we do something irresponsible like this #singleuseplastics โ at Milton Keynes, England

I'm taking a holiday from Twitter for a while. I've argued for reason, compassion and empathy in discussions about sex and gender. That's opened me up to more hate, bile and even misogyny than I've experienced before. I'm sad and shocked. Humans can be so much better than this.

Okay, bloggers, photographers, presenters & other outdoor folk...
We need to get louder about #LeaveNoTrace & tougher on those who knowingly leave litter & behave irresponsibly.
Places are being closed to all because of a few & we've got a mouthpiece to educate
