Had a fantastic few days at #BSG25 in my old stomping ground of Leeds. Always fun meeting new people and catching up with friends! I am grateful to have had the opportunity to share some of my PhD work and receive valuable feedback and advice for the final sprint of my PhD.
The final session of #BSG25 focused on rivers 🌧️ including beaver restoration, oxbow lake geomorphology, the impacts of rewilding and controls on river flow sensitivity!

A great few days at #BSG25 where I got the chance to showcase my @leverhulme.ac.uk funded work on oxbow lakes - hopefully out in publication form soon.

That’s a wrap for #BSG25 @universityofleeds.bsky.social. Thanks to Jonathan, Mark and the wider organising team for a fantastic week covering a wide range of geomorphic processes. Thanks also to Wiley and ESPL, it was a pleasure to celebrate 50 years. See you all next year in Lincoln!

For our final morning in Leeds, we had two sessions covering a wide range of geomorphology from dryland channels to glacial landforms and the interestingly named murdlins to coseismic landslide prediction and mapping and the potential to use sonic geomorphology for ecosystems ☀️❄️🌧️🏔️ #BSG25

Another excellent Cuchlaine King Symposium! We enjoyed talks from Andres Payo Garcia, Lizzie Dingle and Irina Overeem covering a range of geomorphology from coastal processes and the new CoastME to glacial legacy in tectonically quiescent environments & icy landscapes in response to climate change

Starting this afternoon with Linton Award winner, Prof Dave Thomas (@oxfordgeography.bsky.social), a fantastic summary of the evolution of dryland aeolian research over the last 50 years from hand mapping to AI. A talk filled with dunes, dating and fieldwork. Thanks Dave. #BSG25

Two excellent talks from Marjorie Sweeting award winner, Sophie Snowball (Newcastle), and runner up Adam Wright (Sussex) on the role of geomorphology in historic landfill waste and coastal pollution in the north east and glaciofluvial geomorphology on Mars. #BSG25

A session filled with models! Great range of talks on landscape evolution, from uncertainty and new statistics to measure model performance, estimates of future sediment transport in Scotland, asymmetric glaciation as a control on drainage divides to divide asymmetry on Mars and its link to process.

Great day at #BSG25 in Leeds, with award of 2 @bsg-geomorph.bsky.social Fellowships (Carling & Newson) and lifetime awards for Mike Kirkby, Fiona Kirkby & Stuart Lane in ESPL’s 50th anniversary year. And of course outstanding science from NZ to Swaledale via some poetic potholes. More today!

Excellent Michael Kirkby award talk given by Wren Raming to kick off the second day of #BSG25. Wren showed how rock strength, drainage area and flood size control waterfall stability on the Hawaiian Islands. You can read Wren’s paper here:

A series of fascinating talks on fluvial geomorphology in the UK to wrap up today’s presentations! From potholes and outreach, reconstructing palaeofloods in York to future possibilities for fluvial research with advances in technology. Lots of exciting research being done and left to do! #BSG25

Thanks to all our speakers for an excellent first session featuring fluvial systems from the lab scale and North Pennines all the way to New Zealand and large scale remote sensing. A great showcase of river networks incl. erosive bedrock systems and widespread aggradation from cyclones. 🌊💦 #BSG25

Kicking off the first session is Dick Chorley Award Winner, Sophie Horton. Sophie presented her 2022 paper on shore platform wetting and drying cycles following the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake (link ⬇️) as well as more recent work on rock characteristics and the role of small, frequent storms. #BSG25

After a morning filled with fantastic workshops, Jonathan Carrivick has welcomed everyone to Leeds and #BSG25. Also great to hear from Stuart Lane on the 50th anniversary of ESPL and how you can get involved (to be posted soon!) Great to see many issues of ESPL around the conference venue 🌎
