In 2024, I had the privilege of visiting Greenland. Not an obvious holiday choice, but one of the most extraordinary places I’ve ever been. The landscapes are breathtaking, but what stays with me most is the strength, pride and warmth of the people who call this remarkable island home.
Have a weird urge to write an abstract over Christmas?

Koen Verbruggen, Director, Geological Survey of Ireland, welcomes participants to GSI & opens the IQUA Autumn Symposium 2025. 5 December
Ireland's evolving landscape the theme of #IQUA Autumn Symposium at @geolsurvie.bsky.social HQ, Beggars Bush, D4. Lectures ranged widely over time & space; many new ideas & fresh insights on the 11past, present & future at this critical juncture in Ireland's development @quaternaryirl.bsky.social
A large geodesic dome radar tower stands against a clear blue sky. The dome is mounted on a metal lattice structure with multiple platforms. In the foreground, a barbed wire fence and dry grass are visible. Another smaller dome can be seen in the distance.
Researchers at ICARUS, Maynooth University’s climate research centre, have launched a new citizen science project, seeking help to rescue African weather data that is vital for research about a part of the world that is very vulnerable to climate change.

pressure and wind gust field from the ECMWF model for Friday 18Z showing very strong winds for northern half of Ireland
Met Eireann warnings will presumably drop any time now. Still a way off and this is more uncertain than the usual being a post-tropical cyclone but if this ECMWF forecast verifies the norther half of the country is in for a rough old Friday afternoon and evening
Ireland’s mild climate is shaped by a powerful ocean current system. Dr Gerard McCarthy and a group of scientists highlight how the Atlantic between Ireland and Canada is behaving in unusual ways, making it the only region on Earth showing this pattern.

Another lovely peat core this time from Thorne Moors! So far we have collected over 60 cores on this project over the last few months, which is quite an achievement.
Excellent from Ben Jennings...
Nigel Farage should be taken to Spain and Portugal and asked to explain to the residents there that Net-Zero doesn't matter.
Government wasting police time?
🤔
In far less pleasant news -- it turns out that @devoevomed.bsky.social, @nicrawlencenz.bsky.social & I have all been targets of on-line smear articles, all in reference to our public criticisms of de-extinction.

obviously I would never* do anything so vulgar as to repost praise, but can I just say a massive thank you to all of you who have sent supportive comments and messages. It is very heartening, so thank you
Right, now I am off to watch Jurassic Park with my son
Yay! Super exciting. The only part that is amazing is waiting until 2029.
We've just published a paper on human occupation of the NW European margin and the importance of local climate reconstructions during the Lateglacial period. The paper represents a lot of work by myself and my coauthors over many years, we're all happy to see it published at last rdcu.be/eusdJ
What a marvellous idea 👍
It has my vote 😊

I'm from the Highlands of Scotland and this is the most northern town in the UK represented on #ShowYourStripes day. That 1976 drought, that was so strong in my childhood memory, was but a fraction of the more persistent heat we see today 🥵

"Hearing these numbers can be shocking and worrying. There is no doubt that the risks associated with an Amoc collapse would be large for Ireland.”

This joke is so good, I mousterian-other one
Well said Mike
Working at detailed logging of 1980 deposits to connect to the sequence of events as recorded on May 18th
Taking a good look at Mount St. Helens from the north east
Looking at her from the east, near the “Mullineaux” section that captures her recent history of abundant eruptions, several much larger than 1980
Annotated photo of the 1980 deposits near Cascade Peaks - most of the material in this shot is the lateral blast. Just the base of the plinian is visible at the top of the photo.
May 18th 1980.
Mount St. Helens is, in my opinion, one of the most amazing volcanoes in the US. This eruption was both tragic and scientific gift, an inspiration to many to learn more. Me included. I love going to visit her, with my geology friends, as she still has many stories to tell us. 🌋🧪⚒️
Relief! 😮💨
C’mon Europe!
Good - because this is an idiotic distraction
Millions of these plants would be needed just to extract a single year's emissions
Forget it!

"In December last year, Resolute 1850 Ltd was incorporated in the UK.
With a thinktank soon to be launched and funds from MAGA, American Big Tech and the US religious right already pledged, it seeks to use Reform as a vessel to bring Project 2025-style policies to the UK." 🤬
The lesson for Starmer from the Australian election? Find your opponents’ weaknesses and go for the jugular. For Badenoch and Farage, that weakness is fear of a home-grown DOGE, writes @benjamin-clark.bsky.social.
