Last week I handed back my office keys and laptop, which wrapped up my time at BBK. Nearly 8 years, they have flown by and I learned a lot! In a month's time I'll be starting a new position (which I'm really looking forward to). In the meanwhile, BBK is now recruiting: cis7.bbk.ac.uk/vacancy/lect...

Nearly ready to turn on my auto-reply and start the holidays, and just reflecting on a thing my Phd supervisor Sjoerd Bohncke (who sadly no longer is with us) used to say: "Strange things can happen in the Holocene" :)

This looks like a nice teaching resource - soil maps for the UK
New topsoil geochemistry data released by BGS provides the most extensive snapshot of environmental pollution effects around the UK.
The maps pinpoint the distribution of 41 different chemical elements, providing invaluable insights across a wide range of disciplines.
