This is tonight and looks great! Unfortunately I can’t go as we have Yannis Tzioumakis’s inaugural professorial lecture in Liverpool. Which I am also looking forward to… but I wish I could do both.
I'm really looking forward to being back in London for the Cosgrove Lecture at Royal Holloway’s Centre for the GeoHumanities. I’ll be exploring themes around mining, gelatin, environmental remediation, and what remains after mining.
