A series of fascinating talks on fluvial geomorphology in the UK to wrap up today’s presentations! From potholes and outreach, reconstructing palaeofloods in York to future possibilities for fluvial research with advances in technology. Lots of exciting research being done and left to do! #BSG25

Even the clearest water,
if deep enough can drown.
Never think to surprise them.
Your face approaching ever
so friendly is the white flag
they ignore. There is no truce"

🌍 New coastlines revealed by melting glaciers
As glaciers retreat across the Northern Hemisphere, they have exposed over 2,400 km of new shoreline since 2000 – mostly in Greenland
These new coasts are changing fast & could reshape local communities
