At #BACO2025. Lots of good, exciting research. Super happy a former student from the #ESADragon 2023 training programme in Xining came to say hi

Today my PhD student Caitlin and I were going through models (agent based and continuum) of the physics of swimming microalgae 🦠. Caitlin's investigating the movement of motile microalgae in snow ❄️ in collaboration with Mel Sandells, Matt Davey and Xanthella. #microswimmers #cryosphere #OnePlanetDTP

🐇 Today’s #haiku:
Tiny marks unfold,
veiled trails through white stillness curve -
paths where none have been
Inspired by rabbit footprints left in the morning's snow - each step a story, each pause a mystery.

Small differences that make a really big difference.

Have you seen the hydrology climate stripes?
If not you might have missed the yearly WMO report on the state of water resources. Take a look: wmo.int/publication-...
For those who already know the report, there now also is a higher resolution version available!

A quick reminder on how to contribute to uksnowmap.com ahead of any possible #uksnow tomorrow 👀
Post with the hashtag #uksnow, the first-half of your postcode, and a snow rating x/10 and help draw a real-time map of where it is snowing in the UK.

Ah Reading, it’s been a while. Of course, no university travel experience is complete without spending 2 hours negotiating with the travel management company to get into the hotel they’ve booked and supposedly paid for but you still have to fork out twice the price for. #UnexpectedlyWayOutOfPolicy

The real chemtrail that we’re not talking about.
Microplastics promote cloud formation, with likely effects on weather and climate
Clouds affect Earth’s weather and climate in many ways. New research suggests that the presence of microplastic particles could alter these processes.

This winter's snow forecast is bleak, but even worse, the last thirty years has seen a major loss of snow throughout the United States compared to the twentieth century. Global warming is wiping out glaciers, ice caps, and snow.
