Our first results from analysing your #CoastSnapNewbiggin submissions. It’s been a pretty energetic winter in the North East, and so overall we’ve seen retreat (with lots of variability - albeit corrected for tide). Keep the submissions coming! @ncl-geography.bsky.social @hassfacultyncl.bsky.social

Our new study in Water looks at how “forever chemicals” (those that do not break down for centuries) are being released through coastal erosion of old landfills. We studied one such site to show how climate driven shoreline change releases long buried contaminants www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/18...

I recently published my first article: The Poetics of Knowledge in the Anthropocene: The Politics of Posthuman Knowledge.

If you are interested in posthumanism, environmental crisis, radical politics or post-foundational theory, this might be of interest!
