This week with our 2nd year @camunigeography.bsky.social students we’ve been learning about varve lake sediments and what they’ve revealed about abrupt climate change. It’s been fun! Here is a peek at some diatomaceous varves in the Lake Chala cores from Kenya/Tanzania. Enjoy…

Last week PhD student @yqnatdeng.bsky.social and @chslane.bsky.social were sampling cores from an Ethiopian lake…in Aberystwyth! Here’s hoping there’s lots of ancient cryptotephra to be found!

But I’ve just been in Aber and realise this seafront walk is the only commute I’d trade in for 🌊🏴

Serious holiday club envy this week. I’d like a few days around Wandlebury’s hill fort making dens and climbing trees please. Still, the drop-off strolls have been a nice way to bracket the days.
