Here’s a blast from the last, from back when I wrote LOTS of blogs for the @BritGeoSurvey GeoBlogy. I recommend reading this with a cup of tea and some Easter egg for dunking….🐣🐣🐣
After you've finished eating your Easter eggs, why not read our six 'eggs-tremely' tenuous links between Easter and geology, featuring plate tectonics, bunny ears and a part of the Scottish Highlands:

Such sad news 💔. I had the privilege of spending a few weeks with Darryl filming Riverland for BBC NI. He had a great passion for the NI landscape, including our geology.
My thoughts go out to all of his family, especially at this time of year. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-i…

🌋 Today is the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction #IDDRR 2022, started in 1989 by the United Nations General Assembly (@UN) as a day to promote a global culture of risk-awareness and disaster reduction.
Let's keep working to reduce #geohazard risks in our cities!
A great few days with the @AgeoAtlantic crowd! We’ve missed out on face to face meetings, like so many others, so these kinds of meetings are more important then ever. #collaboration #partnership
We welcomed the @AgeoAtlantic project consortium to @GCausewayNT & @NTCarrickarede today.
As part of it, we’re working with @NationalTrustNI to understand rockfalls on site, improve risk management, increase local awareness of #geohazards

It’s International #GeodiversityDay and I am lucky to be in a job that lets me talk about #geodiversity on a daily basis. To celebrate, I’m sharing one of my favourite geology sites which is Ramore Head in #Portush. A key site in the development of #geology as a science.
Tonight I can finally watch #TheIsland on BBC2. If you want to find out more about the island of Ireland’s amazing geological history then tune in (or get it on iPlayer at your leisure). bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001cd9…
Great to see a first glimpse of #TheIsland covering the island of Ireland’s amazing 1.8 billion year geological journey. I’m in there somewhere in episode 1 talking about @GCausewayNT. I’ll be watching through my fingers 🫣🫣
📺👀Excited to share a sneak peak at the promo for our fab new series #TheIsland that starts next Sunday 11th Sept, 18.30 on @RTEOne!! 🙌The story of Ireland’s epic geological journey spanning 1.8 billion years with @lizbonnin 🌍🌋🇮🇪🌊🏝️

It’s official, I now have a MSc in Climate Change and Development from @SOAS 🎉🎉 Lockdown had few advantages, but this was one of them as I don’t think I could have done it otherwise!
Dissertation submitted today and thus bringing my 2.5 year MSc journey @SOAS to an end. I could honestly cry with relief. I’m not going to say it’s been easy but it has been fantastic. #ClimateChange #sustainabledevelopment 🌍 🌎 🌏
Never a truer word spoken @thebodycoach Christmas as a grown-up isn’t all it’s cracked up to be 🎄🎉
Delighted to Chair the Geoparks, Climate Change & Geohazards session @UNESCO @GlobalGeoparks International Conference hosted virtually by #JejuGeopark.
Also got the opportunity to speak about the UK UGGps great work towards #climatechange #mitigation & #adaptation.
