After Easter we took our 2nd year #geography and #environment BSc students to Wester Ross for the @hertsgep #Quaternary field-course. An amazing week of Scottish sunshine, stunning scenery and fabulous fieldwork, with students gaining lots of key field skills. #iceage @uniofherts

What will the future of the warming stripes be?
2024 could be the start of a stabilisation of global temperatures, or it might appear to be a cool year.
Which one of these stories becomes reality depends on our choices today, and every day until then.
We are likely to regret not acting sooner.

So, we have the global temperatures for the whole of 2024.
It was the warmest year on record (1850-2024) across six widely used datasets: HadCRUT5, Berkeley Earth, GISTEMP, NOAAGlobalTemp, ERA5 and JRA-3Q.

My first post on this platform so thought I’d share some treasures from a recent trip to the Early-Mid Pleistocene ‘Contorted Drift’ in N Norfolk: chalk rafts, glacitectonite and thrusts galore!
