During Robyn and Simon's recent field work planning trip to Lake Ogawara, Northern Japan, they had the opportunity to visit the Towada Volcano, a highly eruptive force during the Late Palaeolithic which has now formed into a caldera.

Not the best Tripadvisor review we've ever had.

We're thinking of updating our Bio, though... 🤔

We were delighted to support the visit of the China University of Geosciences to Bradford this week.

With a strong, joint interest in marine sciences, the opportunities for collaborative research were discussed and plans to develop links in marine technology.

A pair of beautiful #Roman glass cups, in a bluey-green glass with white & gold 'snaking' decoration. Found near Köln (Germany), they're a lovely example of the glassware made by skilled craftsmen on the Rhine - and absolutely do not look their 1700+ years of age! AncientBlueSky
