Greenland is greening! It's great to see this research published in @SciReports by Michael Grimes and Jonathan Carrivick. It brings back great fieldwork memories! nature.com/articles/s41598-0… @SoGLeeds

To quote ourselves, these features mean that the analysis of these types of data should be "spatial by default", and encourage inter-disciplinary collaboration with those in the geographical sciences to help transfer decades of knowledge from that domain

So happy, particularly for my student (@LZormpas), that the editors saw the value in this commentary. Thanks also to the helpful reviewers. And of course coauthors @lexcomber and @rachelq_ncl!

My comment on @lexcomber's great model "Route Map" hit the pages of @GeogAnalysis, and it's my favorite piece I've written in a while! In "The Right to Rule by Thumb," I reflect on how methods folks use evidence to justify analytical rules of thumb...

What you need to know about @UniversityLeeds pay docking threat, and what it tells us about chaos on level 13. A small thread.

As a Black woman, I am very hesitant to join women’s movements or initiatives. In honor of #InternationalWomensDay2022 and #WomensHistoryMonth, I’ll tell you why. Let me tell you a story…(1/?)

As we reach the end of teaching, let us not forget that end of semester surveys merely replicate and reinforce gender inequalities (esp. since these "metrics" can be used for promotion cases). Here is the data for our School's split for semester 1 last year.

No great surprise- industry scores higher than academia for job satisfaction."If [universities] want ...academics to thrive, they need to learn how other sectors succeed in ...retaining & rewarding staff" nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

University staff face a 35% cut to guaranteed pensions, their pay is down 20% in real terms in 12 years and a third of academic staff are on insecure contracts.
Solidarity to @UoNUCU & @ucu branches across the country on strike today! ✊🏽
